I saw a thing about this on a pod on CurrentTV.

Some sort of new musical instrument.

It's a table, and you put various cubes on the "table" and they "react" to it.

Here's an article with a video of it in use at a Bjork concert.

It think it's an amazing invention. Some of the things that happen when you combine computers and music are just amazing.

They whipped that thing out when I saw Bjork a year ago. Pretty rad I guess.

That's awesome. It looks like most of the time you'd end up doing nothing but cranking out sounds without really making anything decent though, considering how complicated it seems.

That's pretty cool and all, but.......well before I speak I guess you have to use it for yourself.

I can definitely seeing that happening for a while before the musician got good at it, but I think if they really dedicated themself to it some amazing things can be done with it
