I want one...

and it's called a "Tenori-on". I was introduced to this cool device on the weekend. It's mighty cool and it appeals to my joy of repetition. But what is it? I guess the best way to describe it is that it is a new kind of digital musical instrument. You can not only create audible music, but you can create visual music as well. I think one of these may be on top of my shopping list when I hit Japan in a few weeks time. Check out this very cool demo of the instrument.


And here is Little Boots showing how much fun these things can be, if you throw in a bit of talent:



I REALLY want one...

HELL YEAH! I want one! I have no musical talent what-so-ever but that might just be the coolest thing I think I've seen!

BTW, for something trippy - watch your mugshot slideshow with the Boots clip! Its fucking perfect!

Muz, when you go to Japan would you like to bring one back for me? Y'know for christmas... coz I've been such a good boy!

Looks like something from star trek. I hope it comes with headphones... Too many of those on the bus and, well, you get the picture.

there was a game on Nintendo DS Lite that was slightly similar but on a smaller scale - had something to do with plankton type things if I remember rightly. Anyhoo... it looks cool and would enetrtain me for hours. And then I'd probably never pick it up again. Low boredom threshold me...

TM: I'll see what I can do...
AR: At $1300 a pop I doubt they will take off in the same way.
WCS: Headphones are a must.
DG: Unless I can sing along in tune I will probably lose interest after a while too. But damn it, I'll sing along anyway. My poor neighbors.

Mutant is right. It works perfectly with your mugshot show.
