Tristan and I are both musically inclined without being professional musicians. Our Voice Memos apps are filled with bits of song ideas that we recorded as inspiration struck. An issue we've seen with recording these snippets is that 1) you can't layer your voice easily without using a specialized looper app and 2) it always sounds... like your voice. We're not pro beatboxers, so our "voice drums" don't sound that great. Enter Chops.

We've designed a way to create drum tracks using your voice -- you "sing" the drums and then pick a drum sound (kick, snare, hi-hats, etc.). Check out the video on our page to get an idea of how it works.

We're super excited to push this idea much further, and to make music making more accessible, intuitive and fun. We feel that there should be a larger overlap between music "fans" -- this includes people that sing along to songs, that hum tunes, that make up songs for their families -- and "musicians" as the term is too commonly defined (e.g., people with a musical education, professional artists, etc.)

If you feel even a tiny bit musically inclined, we'd love to have you be part of this beta round!
