'Le Cybersongosse' modular synth for kids

André writes: "I'm a French reader of your blog and I found him every time so interesting and so astonish." Which is the nicest thing anyone's ever said about MT. He brings news of 'Le Cybersongosse', a fantastically psychedelic music machine for teaching recording and synthesis to schoolchildren. I think it looks like a cross between between Sly Stone's organ, a Buchla 200e and Jörgen Bergfors' incredible DIY modular. This PDF leaflet explains everything. It's a hardware interface to MAX/MSP software running on a G5. If this is what passes for education in French schools, it's no wonder Daft Punk sound like they do.

Whoah, before you said interface to G5 and Max, I thought this would be the next big thing for indie rockers (un?)ironically reaching back to childhood. Like you'd play it with your My Little Pony T-shirt on.

Someone needs to pair this up with one of those humongous "Educational model" Korg MS-20s...that thing looks like a Buchla on acid!

Actually this is about ten times as educational as anything I ever did in school, because I know I'd remember it now.
