FAQ:
what is soundwidgets.com?
It's a blog where I post cool stuff I find on the web. I try to post projects which more or less relate to the above topics. Sometimes I just post random stuff.
This also acts as an informal project blog for a music control device I'm designing and building called the Stribe.
I also occasionally post clips and info relating to experimental electronic music I make under the name phineus.
Latest tracks by phineus do you sell stuff?
Actually, yes! You can support The Stribe Project by buying kits from CuriousInventor.com, or by buying Stribe.org T-Shirts or paticipating on the Stribe Project Forum.

It means "stripe" or "striped cloth" in Danish.
Moldover's new CD not only delivers music, it completely redefines what it means to "play an album"... Moldover's CD packaging itself IS a new musical instrument! The CD is mounted on a custom designed circuit board, intricately patterned and powering a "light-Theremin". Yes! You play the artwork and it makes sound!
TracyEvansProductions, a company that specializes in interactive tradeshow exhibits and other multimedia, has integrated Stribes into a kiosk that interactively explains the interaction of water and oil in wells for Schlumberger.

Super-limited-edition drum gizmo - I love this thing - and the demo is too cool. I guess Laurie Anderson has one. I've thought of a similar concept but on a much larger scale, using different length rods rotating around a pole and IR triggers... anyways, check out the vids and an in-depth article at: matrixsynth. Be sure to stick out the video to the part where he brings in the scratchy record. Awesome.
At the end he asks her what it is and and pokes at the buttons and she says it's her Twitter thing. Too bad she didn't give monome.org a plug, but hey it's totally featured so...
