Our mission is to help young djembefolas grow even if the soil around them is dry.

Ok, nice... Wait, what?

It’s 2012
You discover djembe.
You find group classes.
You join the classes.
You start loving djembe.

At some point you think it’s time to grow

But the growth ain’t just happening. You want to practice your solos, breaks, unisonos, intros and outros. You need the backing tracks. You look for recordings, but all you can find are 200 BPM jams recorded with a potato. You barely hear the dun dun voice. And where’s the pulse anyway? Which beat is the first beat? Wait... did they just change the rhythm? Or maybe it’s just your mind who changed it for you. ’Hey mind, don’t do that’. It keeps doing that.

You start hating djembe. No - just the recordings. And the mind.

Then you realize which century you live in

Let the modern tech be helpful this one time. You browse the depths of the Internet in search for the app that will make you fully prepared to follow the path of the fola. But no app is realy satisfactory. None is enough. Just a few rhythms? No new content? No customisation? No editing? Too simple? Too advanced? Steep learning curve?

If you see a task, it is yours

At some point, me and my friend started planning to create a dundun & djembe app, that would fill the gap between a solution too simple and a professional DAW (requiring additional paid VSTs). We wanted it to work on both mobile and desktop devices, allow to edit notes, including 16th notes and triplets (which dunsy will eventually introduce). By the way, neither of us ever developed any audio software before. Many months we spent looking for the right building blocks and a few times we failed to create the POC. Finally after many years device performance has improved, browsers added AudioContext WebAPI and I found the cornerstone libraries to start the work.

Unfortunately at that time it became a one man project, spice it with perfectionism or maybe just the desire for quality and here we are many years later. Now the internet is full of online courses, detailed lessons and even some dundun audio loops. Some of outstanding quality. But when it comes to apps, things did not change that much. Those still seem pretty limited and feel like missing core features. This one hopes to provide some of these features and unlock the content for your creativity. If you are looking for a tool like this then probably you already know a few African rhythms, you listened to albums, watched videos or took a stationary course in your city. If I am right then you are a person who I mainly create dunsy app for, so you know...

In case you have any comments, you are more than welcome to provide your feedback.

I’d rather play with the...
