In 2007 I purchased a Monome 40h kit from the good folks at monome. Brian Crabtree and Kelli Cane are friends of mine and I actually took a max/msp programming class taught by Brian some years ago. I was excited to make this device and I’m happy to say it was a huge success (as are all their products).

The enclosure for my device was made with much help from a friend’s father who is a carpenter. He has really great tools and a ton of know how. My case is made of finished zebrawood and it feel really nice all around. The 40h has become a central aspect of my work flow when making music now. I love it.
