This is such a cool project, especially the principles behind it (open hardware!).
As with anything, there's prior art, so everyone should _chill_ :)
Being passionate about synthesis, I have to mention vector synthesis which has a similar vibe in terms of interaction. More like simple mixing between sounds but nonetheless really neat and powerful.

Glad this made me remember Cory Doctrow riffing on similar scenarios in 2012 with his talk "The Coming Civil War over General-purpose Computing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbYXBJOFgeI

A fantastic longer read on the topic is "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea" by Charles Seife – highly recommended!
