For people who build things.
Explore stories, people, places, ideas and interactive experiences for curious people building businesses, communities, creative work — and themselves.
Part publication, part playground, part resource network. We explore interesting people and places, turn conversations into interactive experiences, and connect useful ideas with people who can help bring them to life.

A Santa Fe home can do more than sit in the landscape. Desert Modernism shows how glass, horizontal planes and carefully considered view corridors can make the landscape part of the experience.

Santa Fe is easier to understand when places, local knowledge, history, food, art and outdoor experiences can be explored together instead of as disconnected search results.

Lone Loba starts with conversation, but the goal is bigger: preserve useful experience and connect it to people, places, resources and ideas others can actually use.

Websites do not have to be pages people passively read. They can react, recommend, challenge, match, visualize and invite people to participate.
Pick a few interests and we'll match them against published Symphonic Soul stories, places, games, conversations and resources.
Long-form conversations with creators, founders, builders, artists and people whose experience is worth passing forward.
Games, collaborative art and interactive experiments you can launch right from Symphonic Soul. Some use a mouse or touch. Others turn your webcam, movement or voice into the controller.
Play NowGuide a UFO through a New Mexico-inspired sky and catch hot-air balloons. Play with your mouse or finger — or try the camera-controlled version.
Webcam DemoTurn your hand into a digital paintbrush. A standard webcam tracks movement and gestures so you can create without touching the screen.
CollaborateSubmit a word and watch it become part of a growing shared sky — a collaborative artwork built from the contributions of everyone who participates.
Build TogetherStack, rotate, resize and color virtual blocks in a shared workspace. Build on your own or invite other people to contribute to the same creation in real time.
Move to PlayStep in front of your webcam and become a witch flying through a Halloween world. Move your body to dodge hazards and collect glowing jack-o'-lanterns.
Create + ShareSpeak or type an idea on one device and watch it become colorful artwork on another screen. Create solo or let a crowd contribute images to a shared browser or projected light show — then turn a new creation into a product with a click.
A growing collection of people, tools and practical resources for starting, running, protecting and growing the things you care about.
Tell us what your business does, what you are trying to accomplish and what is getting in the way. We can help connect those goals to practical digital solutions.
Most businesses know the goals they want to reach or the problems they need to solve — but not every way software, automation and interactive technology can help. Share some basic information about your business, goals and challenges and our free evaluation will instantly match you with practical ways Symphonic Soul could support your team, from useful short-term wins to longer-term opportunities.
I'm Josh Gallegos. I design and build software, websites, prototypes, games, interactive experiences and digital tools for businesses, startups and people with unusual ideas.
The commercial side of Symphonic Soul still lives here — it just no longer has to be the only reason someone visits.
