Musical Geekery

I am not only a code nerd, but also very fond of modern music and music
making.
 
There are a lot of great new instruments and devices to make and
manipulate sound – among those for example the monome
(http://monome.org/) and the concept of the themerin.
 
All very geeky and interesting.
 
Today, I discovered a new work by Luca De Rosso. For a thesis project he
designed “OTTO”.
It’s pure awesomeness. See/listen for yourself:
 

 
It is based on the great arduino platform (http://www.arduino.cc/) and Max.
I’d love to play around with this, but as it is, it is neither being
produced nor sold commercially.
