The artist curated soundtoys.net website has been redesigned with a new interface and new functionality. All of the content has been tagged with associated words in a database which means you can now browse the entire Soundtoys collection thematically. The new design was in addition to a national tour and a series of new commissions. The commissioned artists utilized the database of tags to create unique new interfaces to the collection and beautiful artworks in themselves. (see below for more details)
