tenori-on

6 September 2005

tenorion.jpga 'visible music interface', or a digital music instrument featuring a 16x16 matrix of LED lights, allowing even non-musicians to play sounds & improvise intuitively. each LED light also functions as a touch-sensitive switch that is capable of emulating related sounds when touched. when users push a switch a short time, a ripple of light & sound spreads out. when a switch is held longer, the light dot & sound will be played repeatedly (looped). several tenori-ons can be wirelessly connected & synchronized.

i got to play w/ one of these @ SIGGRAPH this summer (awesome). from what i gathered, it might cost ~$150 when it goes into production. i've linked my name to the TENORI-ON post on my blog.
