Yes, indeed, Engadget.com said it correctly, this isn’t the newest idea around, but very well executed: The Sensacell reactive floor installation at the Comunitat Valenciana in Spain is a beauty, super reactive and very flat in construction. I could see myself spending hours playing around with this thing. Make sure not only to check out the video below, but also the Sensacell Website, which shows detailed product information and application examples.

This has been quite around for a while but I just stumbled upon it again recently. The Yamaha Tenori-On is a music sequencer that allows you not only linear, but 2-dimensional audio programming. Additionally it sports cool visual effects on the 16×16 grid screen. This makes it not only a pleasure to listen to but also to look at. It’s a very playful and easy way of making music that sounds good in just a short amount of time. It opens new ways of producing to artists and an easy access for amateurs to the world of music programming.

Make sure you check out some videos on Youtube watching artists getting their hands on a Tenori-On for the first time, it’s just great what people do with it right away.

P.S.: Because we already talk about sound and music, I want to share this video, it doesn’t really fit into the schematics of this blog but it’s very entertaining and worth sharing. Enjoy.

Who said lights have to be in perfect order all the time? I really like what this looks like. We could create a really organic looking sclupture or decoration out of this, and maybe animate it with interesting patterns. Unfortunately, the flickr page where I got this from doesn’t share any details or links. Anyways, it’s cool, and worth blogging.
