John Nolan Animatronics
Check out the mechanics of these animatronics. I know these mechanical puppets are really creepy and terrifying, nothing for a sensitive soul. The spookiest thing about it is, that they know how to bring these object to life. But they also made a cute one.
Enjoy their work and

Fine collection of curious sound objects by Georg Reil and Kathy Scheuring
Things built with Processing and Arduino keep surprising me with creative possibilities. Georg Reil and Kathy Scheuring describe their project, developed in January 2010

The Monome & Edison
Evey heard of a Monome? No? They write:
“the monome 40h is a reconfigurable grid of sixty-four backlit buttons. Buttons can be configured as toggles, radio groupings, sliders, or organized into more sophisticated systems to monitor and trigger sample playback positions, stream 1-bit video, interact with dynamic physical models, and play games. button press and visual indication are decoupled by design: the correlation is established by each application.”Musician and Hip Hop Artist Edison built this thing into a lunchbox and does some very impressive things with it. Chapeau!

Impress – a flexible touchpad by Silke Hilsing
Silke Hilsing invented an impressive technic. A flexible touchpad allows the user to create 3-Dimensional spaces to fill up with sound-bowles, easy switch between news and some more. With an up-projektion the result get projected on the top of the soft touchpad.
The impress has 4 kinds of applications.
Application 1: You can put objects in motion and make them sound differently by deforming the surface. Draw a new object with different radius and pitch depending on the intensity of pressure.
Application 2 + 3: Modelling a 3D-object by lower or higher intensity of pressure at any desired position. After Modeling, save the result and compare it with other results in a 3D gallery. Fly and zoom through the gallery by putting more or less pressure onto the display.
Application 4: Squeeze out latest news (RSS-Feeds of different news agencies).
It is an very interessting technic. I think the video explains it very well.

Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc.
Sometimes we think about the new future of sound or searching for the new sound. Where can we find inspirations. What are the new inventions to create the perfect sound and which Music Machine can we use. These were the things who were Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc.
thinking of, too. They made this cool video for us to demonstrate how the future about producing music could look like.

When they say you shouldn’t play music with your head, they don’t mean you should use your heart.
Instead, use other peoples heads.
Enjoy it!
