Excited to share our #CHI2026 paper “FlueBricks: A Construction Kit of Flute-like Instruments for Acoustic Reasoning”! 🎶
What if, instead of only learning to play an instrument, you could reshape the instrument itself as you explore sound?
We present FlueBricks—a modular system built around a designer–player loop:
build → play → listen → rebuild.
As the boundary between designer and player blurs, a pattern begins to emerge—what we call acoustic reasoning—where people form, test, and refine ideas through sound.
