Beat Blocks is a tangible interface for a rhythm sequencer. The user is able to create and manipulate a 4-track drum loop by physically re-arranging wooden blocks within a 4x4 grid. What this enables is anyone with little or even no musical background to create and take command of a rhythmic composition. No time is needed to read a manual or learn a complicated interface. The basic act of re-arranging objects is all that is required to get started and the result is familiar enough to be instantly rewarding. Of course a good sense of rhythm will help produce a more interesting and dynamic composition, but for the most part any participant may easily produce something that sounds good (familiar).
