Check out this new instrument. Well, actually its more like a new interface for a synth. Its a pretty kool idea. Like many new instruments these days, its required little to no knowledge to make some sounds and beats but then if you listen to this video without the visuals, its pretty much rubbish music. I still think its a cool idea because it em-powers people to make things without much effort. Apparently Bjork's guys has been using it for live concerts. However I did go to see the Bjork concert in HK. The brass band she had was great. The stage and set was really cool, however the synth sounds and general music arrangement was somewhat disappointing for me. I would love to see people like NIN use this instrument on their more industrial sound in a live application, that would be really cool. At the end of the day, any instrument like this still doesn't beat a guy thrashing a guitar or setting a strat on fire.... maybe I should set my DJ decks on fire on night, expensive but damn kool !!
