Baj.ai (Bajai) – Play Any Sound/যেকোনো কিছু বাজাই/Jekono Kichhu Baj.ai (the fun part is we didn’t remember to give our project a name at first)
Imagine yourself as a beginner in the world of music, like someone who just started to learn the Ukulele. As I thought about the vast world of music, I realized that trying to learn many instruments could be quite challenging. So, I wondered: What if there was a special instrument that anyone, no matter how experienced they were in music, could use to make the sounds of different instruments with a simple touch?

So at this year’s KolpoKoushol, we turned this idea into an ethereal musical instrument and became a special musical instrument we call Baj.ai (in English, “play any sound”), we came up with this name because this instrument can play any type of music (also a tribute to keeping the project names in Bengali (thanks, KolpoKoushol). It looks like a regular flute on the outside, but it has a magical ability. With just a gentle touch, it can create the sounds of a guitar, a piano, or a violin. What’s even more enchanting is that you can change the pitch from high to low, all within the same beautiful melody. It’s like weaving a symphony that’s filled with dreams and the enchantment of endless possibilities.
