About
Clayworks, also known as CLYWRKS, is a one-person independent music software studio led by me, Xander. I make playful plugins, drum machines, and MIDI tools for people who love exploration. I started Clayworks because I wanted to build plugins that felt like instruments, not tools, and to help break down the barriers to creating music so it becomes even more accessible.
I design, build, and test these by myself, so if you write in, you get me. I'd love to hear what you are making with Clayworks tools.
