By playing a USB piano keyboard, users control a series of fans which blow across felt swatches soaked in raw scent materials. By playing \"chords,\" the users will be able to compose their own fragrances. Each fragrance will also be associated with a musical note and a color, represented in the accompanying processing sketch and by multicolor LEDs which illuminate the organ-like structure of clear acrylic tubes. Finally, users will be able to save their creations and play back the creations of others.
