ipod hacking
Reware @ EYEBEAM MIXER
EYEBEAM invited Hans and I back to exhibit our REWARE ipods as musical instruments for a MIXER event a little while ago. This time we had four ipods on stage, attached to faux guitars drums and podium. They were running linux+puredata to create sampling-experimental-electronic insruments. There were drum-machines, guitar samplers, and DJ scratch soundeffects, all interchangeable between each instrument, and plenty of party goers rocked out!
Heres some pictures from the event, you can find more of the the entire event from EYEBEAM’s flickr set:

As well as some long overdue videos of the work Hans, Marius and I did leading up to it:
