well its interesting but...
the example video does fall into a sligtly dreary computerised
durge...and in a way it deosnt have much audio sophistication..quite
plinky plonky..
the dynamics possible with an analogue synth such as a Pro One are
immesurably more variable, and require a certain craftsmanship in
playing..

however i do find these developments interesting in sound and audio

have you see the device that Bjork uses, the reactable?

how do these compare technologically?
