Goals
- Provide children with a culturally-informed environment for making music and sound on the OLPC
- Provide an audio/music experience that is instantly rewarding for a musically naïve user
- Provide a playable musical instrument with its own “sound”
- Provide a dynamically adaptable learning environment that proposes simplicity and welcomes complexity
- Use mesh networking to encourage collaborative music making
- Introduce notions of audio and music programming
- TamTam uses CSound as its audio engine
