I made the #soundtrack myself! It's #kalimba based - because you can#t ruin 'kalimba music - and has an ethereal flair to it. Big thanks to my friend CormalvaMusic for all the help!

I am drawn to some of #Bastl gear. The new #kalimba is a great example. The interface is easy to express on but the gizmo aspects add several pallets to the expression. It is a Kickstarter though, so not a now thing so much as a then thing. It's also a $$$ thing which means I need to shown to myself it will not just be a paperweight. Onward

Alright, this is pretty cool.

"A unique desktop instrument that combines microphones, touch sensors, and an accelerometer, with a user interface inspired by the traditional kalimba and its main interaction element: the tines."
