Inspired by the layered design of Matryoshka dolls, songs on Yoshka are seen as composites of individual stems or elements. The current platform simulates a very basic workflow of a cloud-based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) experience, where users can explore pre-featured stems and even contribute their unique creations and produce and release songs, we envision future iterations featuring direct DAW integration.
