Roger Linn Demos His Linnstrument at the New Music Gathering

The promise of electronic sound generation was to produce any instrument sound you can imagine. However, if you've ever tried to play a convincing guitar, sax, violin, clarinet or cello solo on a MIDI keyboard, you've found it to sound static and lifeless because keyboards can't do much more than turn sounds on and off at different volumes. LinnStrument takes a new approach, capturing each finger's subtle movements in three dimensions for simultaneous fine control of note expression, pitch and timbre. With this level of expressive control, the promise of electronic sound generation is finally a reality.

I'd like to see a band composed of people playing all new age instruments. We could have Quartet playing a Linnstrument, Eigenharp, Alphasphere, and Samchillian.
