I havn’t posted much this past week because I’ve been studying my balls off for these pesky Mid-Terms…but I’m back and I have a lot of good stuff coming.
There’s a few instruments out there that I’ve read about that look extremely awesome, and there’s one in particular that just looks straight insane, I bring you the Reactable:
If I owned the Reactable, nobody would ever hear from me and I’d be locked in a basement for months with this thing. The Reactable is a new electronic instrument designed to create and perform the music of today and tomorrow. It combines state of the art technology with a simple and intuitive design, which enables musicians to experiment with sound, change its structure, control its parameters and be creative in a direct way unlike anything else. It has a tangible interface, where the musician controls the system by manipulating these blocks and disks. Just check it out in these demo videos:
Very slick. By the way, there’s a ton of other videos on youtube of people with these things, here’s one where someone’s using it for a live performance:
I want one of these so bad!
