Youtube Description - Institut FATIMA, 2 german musicians paul and carsten living in Barcelona. They connected a open source tracking software called reactivision with their music making program and found out, that for musicians and performers a distance to the computers can be in many ways usefull for their performances.
why tableless and screenless?
they are very sensible of the Email Checker Syndrom: electronic laptop musicians look conspicuously often like checking their email when they are performing their music on stage. standing upright beside their instruments allows them as musicians and performers to communicate more with their audience. with a tableinstrument or a screen they are still suffering with the "ECS", because the eyes are focusing downwards to the applications. for this reasons Institut FATIMA is using a very easy and cheap way with a webcam and some paper cards which allows them to dance, perfom and control or not control music simultaneusly, wireless, without any cable barriers.
they implemented it in their shows and will let you soon play with their "magic" cards.

Multitouch Audio Table - AudioTouch OS - Long Version
Youtube Description - More at: http://sethsandler.com
Note: This is NOT a microsoft surface. This is a self-built Multitouch table that I built over the course of a few months time.
AudioTouch is an interactive multi-touch interface for computer music exploration and collaboration. The interface features audio based applications that make use of multiple users and simultaneous touch inputs on a single multi-touch screen. A natural user interface where users can interact through gestures and movements, while directly manipulating musical objects, is a key aspect of the design; the goal is to be able to interact with the technology (specifically music based) in a natural way. Users can load, exit, and move musical applications using gestures as well as have a multiple applications operate within the same work environment. The design is built into a table that hides all the hardware necessary for tracking multiple inputs as well as displaying visual feedback on the touch surface.

Lemur Electronic Jazz Instrument
Youtube Description
Jazz Mutant's Lemur - it's a multi touch screen, midi and osc programable, musical controller. Here it is set up with a custom template I pieced together with my friend m.0 & from the template on their site - nothing to it - these are just some scrap sounds from a session we had the other night. The faders bring in the tracks and the buttons above the faders are record enable, solo, mute, and select. Everything else is pretty much set up to control whatever I might want. More to come...
