Many have been asking, “where is the future?”, and although most of those are bi-spectacled nerds (who we wholeheartedly support), many others are starting to wonder where we went wrong. I mean, where are the flying cars, the stainless steel towers in the sky, the motorized walkways? Apple is starting to take us into the right direction for technophiles and now musicians have the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona to thank for the Reactable, a multi-user electronic music instrument built into a tabletop interface. Imagine if you will, a life-size Elektroplankton! Yeahhhhh. With it, users are able to create complex and dynamic sonic “topologies” (music compositions) by moving physical objects over the table, controlling virtual generators, filters and modulators in a graspable flow-controlled programming language.
Enough techno-bibble babble, take a look at the Reactable in action after the jump..

This is a great project! I would love to see this in the hands of an experienced musician!

Cool. I would love one of those. Maybe it should have some more complex manual input though, like a keyboard or something. Maybe a group of people could play the keyboards while another rearranges the sound modifiers…

Bjork actually has one of these for her ’07 tour. Simply amazing is all I can say. She incorporated it into every song she did, and it was flawless. I’ve done some research, and most of us could never dream of owning one yet. Only a few exist in the world, and unless you’re a rock star like Bjork, don’t hold your breath to have one of these in your hands for at least a decade.

There is an endless number of games that can be played that are listed on the Internet. They are simple games that can be played using common household items. All of the guests will get into the baby shower mood by playing these games. My favourite game is to have the guests guess how many toilet paper squares the tummy of the mom to be is. Outcomes from this game will surprise you. Baby shower games are fun and everybody enjoys them, it helps break the ice and get all of the guests into a baby shower mode. Here, you will find a review of the best Baby Shower Games.
