So this is a “new age” sort of instrument. It apparently can do just about anything the artist would like. I’m not quite convinced on the sound quality quite yet (could be due to sound quality of video) and the instrument may need some work to actually be the future of music. However, I think the concept is awesome and one of these would be a lot of fun to play around with. This is how the Eigenharp website describes their instrument: “A professional level instrument which allows the musician to play and improvise using a limitless range of sounds with virtuoso skill. The unique design of the keys makes this the most expressive electronic musical instrument ever made. The Alpha can play and record loops, change scale and key, transpose, alter tempo, program beats, create arrangements, switch and layer multiple sounds, all while the musician is performing live on stage.” Sounds good to me. Check it out and leave a comment about what you think.
