I was watching "Later with Jools Holland" and Björk was one of the performers.
Someone in her band was messing with some objects on a lighted table and it was actually some kind of new instrument.
Check it out!

WOW that was freaky listening with headphones. I thought I saw a 2006 date at the end. It must have taken a lot of work.

While I'm pretty sure I can do the same thing with a few function generators, that does look very cool.

Bjork is so awesome.

Reminded me, a little bit, of these music bugs I saw on TV a while ago. You hold them and move them around and smack them for a beat and move the bugs' antennas for synth sounds. Kids were using them. Very cool, but can't find a link. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Seen this on youtube some time last year... Very cool.

Oh my God!

I WANT ONE!

 

[dclancy]

So TRIPPY!!!

Thanks for the link Todd. It's been passed along.

LOL....I thought the thread said 'retractable' instrument.

Man, that is some pretty amazing stuff.

Is that the same technology they use for the "Microsoft Table"?

 

[StealthyCow]

That is AWESOME.

And I was thinking of that Microsoft thing while watching it too, LHS. Really makes me look forward to cool new stuff in the future.

 

[monolith]

Yeah, I saw that when it first surfaced. I've wanted one ever since.

 

[boomana]

Very impressive and looks like fun. Too bad I don't like any of the sounds it produces, but I'll be very curious to what the future brings.

 

[ShinyFalcon]

lol I read it as "retractable" instrument too. That's awesome...
