I’ve wanted a monome for a long time now, and this just makes it worse. So many neat things you can do with this device. If I was more confident with a soldering iron, I’d buy a kit and make one. They aren’t really *that* expensive.

About the Space
The space is on top of Cafe Luna/Skewers in Dupont Circle. It is a really cool laid-back space with middle-eastern style layout. An intimate and laid back environment, Beyond attracts folks from all walks of life.
As with all Freeform DJ events, there is no dress code and no cover.
SenseSurface lets you attach physical controls to an LCD screen directly over the on-screen controls. Pretty neat in theory but not sure how it would work in practice. Perhaps a secondary monitor, with all these stuck to it would be handy? Not very portable though.
I just grabbed Intua Beatmaker for my iPhone. I’ll post up a review and maybe some samples in a bit.
Jamming with folks again reminds me that I need to upgrade my copy of Ableton Live to take advantage of the tempo nudge feature, if nothing else. Playing with folks that aren’t midi-synced to your perfectly synced performance makes things a little wonky and that tempo nudge would simplify staying in sync with live musicians.
I need piles of money so I can get all the gear I want. Still need a padKontrol, and I’ve been eyeing tons of other stuff… I also need more space so I can start bending these toy keyboards I bought months ago.
I’ve got a gig coming up at Beyond on July 23. My set will be a combination of live and DJ stuff, and should be good times. Come out and buy me a beer!
