Dewanatron: Dual Primate Console by Josh Rubin
Dewanatrons to make music in real time, suitable for concert performance, live recording, or to be broadcast over the airwaves. The special purpose of Dewanatrons, which are modern solid-state analog instruments, is to grow music live in collaboration with the operators who guide them. Each of the instruments are hand crafted and intended to work in tandem with one another.
I had the opportunity to observe Leon and Brian performing this weekend at the Armory Show. They had several pieces of equipment with them, including the Dual Primate Console (pictured above). The music was just as wonderful and fascinating to hear as those devices are to see. Check out some samples on their site.
...and speaking of the Armory Show, check out squee.gee's recap over at core77.

Pacemaker
When one of CH's designers tipped us to the Pacemaker, the world's first hand-held DJ system, (right after we also heard about it when in Europe recently), we knew it was worth checking out. Fortunately for us, we had the chance to experience it first hand when co-founder Ola Sars stopped by our offices earlier this week. In person, the "PSP of music's" look,...

Skeletar
Stuff like the Skeletar makes me consider starting a So Bad It's Good category. Created by Peter McGilton, this hideously genius guitar epitomizes Death Rock. McGilton's shop, Exotic Guitars, has over a dozen similarly incredible hand crafted designs and all of them are perfectly functional. via Music Thing...

Pillow Speakers
Surprisingly useful, these pillow speakers have the potential to transform sleeping experiences.

Most importantly, sleeping partners will be undisturbed by your canned lullabies. From earplug specialists Sensorcom, the first of the models involves wrapping a belt-like band...
