A new electronic music interface makes creating music easier and more physical. “In terms of the style of play it encourages, it’s easier to improvise a more expressive style of play. Because it’s physical, there’s also a dynamic that engages the audience. They can actually see what the performer is doing. The Audiopad is projected on a special table equipped with radio sensors that track the position and movement of half a dozen plastic discs, or ‘pucks.’ Most of the pucks control a series of preprogrammed tracks – the rhythm, the bass line, the melody and so on.”
