[l'ull cec] dimecres 24/01 concert reacTable* @ La Sala (c) Castelló, 20:00 hrsPresentació del reacTable a BarcelonaThe reactable, is a state-of-the-art multi-user electro-acoustic music instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving physical artefacts on the table surface and constructing different audio topologies in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.The reactable hardware is based on a translucent round table. A video camera situated beneath, continuously analyzes the table surface, tracking the nature, position and orientation of the objects that are distributed on its surface, representing the components of a classic modular synthesizer. These objects are passive without any sensors or actuators, users interact by moving them, changing their position, their orientation or their faces (in the case of volumetric objects). These actions directly control the topological structure and parameters of the sound synthesizer. A projector, also from underneath the table, draws dynamic animations on its surface, providing a visual feedback of the state, the activity and the main characteristics of the sounds produced by the audio synthesizer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/p...

You're right dude! highest respect for the technology - however, were these used for the sound effects in 'Contact' starring Jodie Foster? i'm sure some dudes will be ripping dope sounds on these sooner rather than later though! chur

Sadly, it is mainly crap.Anyways, Reactable, itself, is an amazing invention as a very new concept of interface.

most of contemporary musci sounds like this, you're saying that contemporary music is mainly crap.Maybe, you just don't like it.

I don't know about arguments as to this being art/music or not...But god damn it sounds like crap.Take away the visual, you have an agonizing clash of alien sounds. Like a HAM operator's attempt at Jazz. Not saying it's not music. Just saying that if it is music, it's crap.

I guess you better define music for me, willingpassenger. Otherwise your comment doesn't go anywhere. Really "the gravity of reality." Let's not be silly.

What an odd flow of words in relation to making noise and music. I make my music without keyboards and yet is is somehow music non the less. You have let yourself be weighed down by the gravity of "reality". Liberate yourself and you could just find yourself creating music from pretty much nothing.

check out bjork's live stuff, she has a reatable guy who does some pretty amazing stuff, I thought it looked a bit difficult to get something useable but was well surprised. think the tracks live on jools holland but theres a live gig one too. Nuff rambling for now
