Music: New, Amazing, Instrument


In the words of Arthur C. Clarke, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic."

This YouTube video is honestly amazing. It depicts an interactive group of pieces of technology that together create a musical instrument (of sorts) capable of auditorially generating electronic music, and allowing us to visually see the sound waves and their interactions.

I send a heartfelt "Thank You" to the Music Technology Group at Universitat Pompeu Fabra - who've created this inspired piece of.... reactable music technology.

Again, the creativity that exists in this world, and that emerges from the human mind; that which can be manifested through technology and shared with the world just blows my mind.

Blows. My. Mind.
