Abstract

Based on the experience garnered through a longitudinal ethnographic study, the authors reflect on the practice of designing and fabricating bespoke, accessible music technologies. Of particular focus are the social, technical and environmental factors at play which make the provision of such technology a reality. The authors make suggestions of ways to achieve long-term, sustained use. Seemingly those involved in its design, fabrication and use could benefit from a concerted effort to share resources, knowledge and skill as a mobilised community of practitioners.
