If this actually replaces DJs I will kill myself. Or maybe just laugh a whole lot.

How is this weirder than a dude standing on stage with a gameboy? At least he's pressing more than one button.

Well good. I was just thinking how badly Music Culture needed Atomization.
I'm getting really tired of the controller culture of electronic music. Everyone seems to think if they come up with a niftier device to make the same music, that they'll reinvent culture somehow.

I actually think it's pretty cool. While you can do the same thing in another form factor, it's all part of performance, and I like to jazz around. CDM did a write up about it a while ago. It seems pretty effective too, great tune he gets going, and the transfer of the kinesthetic to the musical aspect is awesome.

Its cool for those that know nothing about music and how it is done. It looks more exciting (silly) then turning knobs and pressing buttons while performing for them. The thing that I really cant tolerate in this is the shameful use of sunglasses in the dark and fearless use of leather pants. WHY THE HELL WOULD U DO THAT? those glasses are so 90's douche. wearing a cow on your legs hasn't been cool since.... evar. If this is the future it sure looks stupid. for real tho... this is made to the impress those that dont know.

I saw this guy totally randomly as a street player in Berlin last october. He had that iPhone thingy, tons of other gear and if I remember correctly, midi saxophone. He makes awesome music. And he's been trying to collect money from investors to prototype some stuff more sophisticated than the ones on the video. Crazy dude, I appreciate a lot. Some of the sounds/instruments are really cheesy but there's talent.

i dig this actually. but it also looks as if it's from a deleted scene from The Fifth Element that would have featured crazy futuristic bar musicians.
