Tim Soo

Tim Soo is the creator of the project, Invisible Instruments and a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania.
Soo developed his project while he attended Emory College as an undergraduate, majoring in mathematics and minoring in music. The idea developed partially out of curiosity and when he did not have his violin at school for a music theory class. His first instrument, the violin, involved no strings, a bow made from a Wii remote and sounds from a music library on his Mac.
Invisible Instruments is an iPhone-based music tool which allows one to play any music instrument using the iPhone and Wii Controller, which acts as a MIDI device. So far, the violin, cello and bass have been developed, and other instruments are being developed using this technology.
His YouTube video, which reached 15,000 views, was featured by tech site, Mashable as "Video of the day". MTV awarded him “Best Music Hack” in its celebration of digital music in the form of the O Music Awards.
In 2008, he founded FewForChange, a non-profit organization that raises scholarships for underprivileged children abroad.
