Thread: Music without a visible instrument?

    Music without a visible instrument?

    Check this out: apparently Imogen Heap has come up with technology for making music through three-d gestures. I don't know if I like what she's doing with it but it has some real potential.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Gesture-oriented or positional instruments have been around a while -- laser harp, data gloves -- but the limitation has always been that either you trigger pre-recorded sequences, or your gestures have to be as precise as a theremin player. It's not easy to play a fretless instrument in three dimensions.
