Music Blocks is a fork of TurtleArtJS created by Walter Bender. (Turtle Blocks JS has many contributors).
Devin Ulibarri has contributed functional and user-interface designs. Many of his contributions were inspired by the music education ideas, representations and practices (e.g. aspects of matrix, musical cups) developed and published by Dr. Lawrence Scripp with whom Devin studied at New England Conservatory and for whom he worked at Affron Scripp & Associates, LLC.
