Odd Instruments: The Eigenharp
via youtube.com
The Eigenharp is the first attempt at a new musical instrument (though perhaps it's more a hybrid remix) for some time. Looks like a stringed instrument but with lateral motion sensitive keys and a breath controller (oooh breath controllers.They were big once). I once had a go on one of those Akai wind controller devices way back when. The one that looked like a giant bug spray.
Seems to interface with a Mac computer (Windows support due yada yada). We haven't had anything this portable for live performance for a long time so maybe it'll stop a few people just being hunched over a laptop or Edirol type mini keyboard. Mind you the former is remotely affordable.
Good luck to them though.
