Tenori-On: Digital Music Light Machine

tenori.jpg

Japanese media artist Toshio Iwai has created this awesome little 16x16 box, the "Tenori-on" that is some kind of tech-toy cross breed of musical instrument, digital sequencer, and a lite-brite. I love this thing. Apparently its not really available yet, although the Yamaha UK site says it's available for £599.00, which amounts to about $1200.00. ...Which can blow me. When it is available though, for a non-crazy price I'ma gonna be gettin' me one.

Here it is in action:

Site note: I know for some reason comments are all screwed up and not showing, but I have the crack team here at Media Temple™ on it and we should have it fixed "soon to very soon". Or ..."later to very later."

Man, all these little musical toys are super cool! This is why I desperately need to be rich.

Hey steve hope all is well. Saw one of these in action on sunday, it was alrite - but nothing special. Infact not many people even bothered to watched more than 2 mins of the demonstration.
