I’m looking forward to getting more into my new monome.
“what’s a monone?” you ask.
a reconfigurable grid of backlit keypads which connects to a computer. interaction between the keys and lights is determined by the application running on the computer. there is no hard-wired functionality.
ok, so what does that mean?
basically, it means the sky’s the limit. Live sample cutters, math simulations, drum machines, generative controllers, tonal maps, games, visualizations – all open source and community driven.
Built by brian crabtree and kelli cain in the catskills.
we strive for economic and ecological sustainability. careful design practice allows us to contribute to culture and preserve the environment by choosing domestic, high-quality, and responsible providers and production facilities. we acknowledge that our future will depend on our ability to support and maintain a local, regenerative economy.
i think this will become a main part of my live set up, as well as a big influence on the next recording.
stay tuned…..
