🍲🥁 OkraSynth — Cook Your Culture Into Sound
What if the next iconic interaction paradigm didn't come from Silicon Valley?
OkraSynth is my answer. Drag West African ingredients into a cooking pot and hear your dish compose itself as music in real time. Kontomire becomes soft strings. Plantain becomes bass. Shito becomes a snare crack. Every combination sounds different. Every dish tells a story.
When your pot is full, hit Serve — and get a Kente-pattern album cover of the composition you just created.

It's rooted in something real. African cooking has always been compositional. You layer ingredients by intuition. You listen for the right sizzle. You know it's ready before you can explain why. That's musicianship. We just never built software around it. Linkedin:
