No-one ever seems to really commit to alternative controllers. How many Soundbeam virtuosi can you think of? Can you even name more than one Stick player?
For the man [or woman] that really is tired of the Celeste and the Banjolele paradigms, we’re pleased to alert you to the AudioCube. Alright, they sound kind of horrible right now – something like an SH7 with a blown power supply – and it’s difficult to see how the wired prototype would fit into a performance environment. Imagine, though, for an instant a Bluetooth version of these little suckers in the hands of a juggler. Sweet! Nice spot Gizmodo!
While these look interesting, I was particularly intrigued by the Sony Project Block Jam
ReplyDeleteThere's a nice online demo as well.

Those are just some pros with a web presence :-)
You walked into that one, Mikey. How could you forget Nick Beggs?
ReplyDeleteWell, I do feel something of a fool now as I quite liked Ellis, Beggs & Howard and saw them live a few times.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of any of those other jeks though!
