Tenori-on now has a blog + Sonar 2006 Clips!

I'm just about ready to open up a Toshio Iwai section for this website! There is now a blog for the Tenori-On development team. There's a bunch of great photos, and information directly from Toshio as well.

Of special interest to fans of Toshio's work is SOUND-LENS. A grid array of leds, that triggers as the arm moves in front of it. It reminds me a little bit of Laser Harps I geuss, but basically any grid based trigger system would probably more analogous.

Because the player moves the arm in the air, it looks like playing Theremin a little. So I may say this is like "Theremin of Light."

Visit the tenori-on blog.

After the jump you can see some clips from Sonar 2006. If anyone has video for the Naoaki Kojima performance with SOUND-LENS at Sonar, please let me know!

The second clip features electroplankton in action as well as the Tenori-On.


Sort of cool and related: Check out this snap of a sheet of score for the Tenori-On. Cool!
