UNTRUE — An interactive chord

UNTRUE — An interactive chord explorer inspired by Burial's album Untrue (2007).

Using Mobbin, I studied how music apps handle chord exploration and sound interaction. Two apps shaped the direction: • Demo — for its intuitive chord selection and circular UI patterns • Endel — for its dark, spatial, monochrome aesthetic

I combined Demo's interaction model with Endel's visual language, themed around the harmonic palette of Burial's Untrue — every chord from every track on the album, playable in your browser.

What you can do: • Explore chords across 9 album tracks • Tap to hear each chord with different synth presets • Build and play your own chord progressions

Process: Mobbin research → Figma → Claude Code → test → back to Figma → rebuild. Each iteration brought it closer to a dark, tactile instrument.

Built with React + Tone.js + Tailwind CSS. Deployed on Vercel.
