Sounds of Science: 8 Futuristic Musical Instruments

I love Wired magazine, I really do. They are always covering the current state of affairs with technology and culture, which inevitably bleeds into music. They’ve covered artists such as Thom Yorke and David Byrne, they have a [warranted] love affair with Brian Eno and they nominated of Jack Dangers, of Meat Beat Manifesto fame, as one of 2005’s Sexiest Geeks. They even reviewed The Orb back in 1994! Go Wired!

Currently Wired has turned it’s critical eye on Futuristic Musical Instruments. Keep in mind Wired is not Create Digital Music, nor are they Analog Industries, and they markedly missed noting the monome as one of the ‘must have’ instruments of the past few years, but they have managed to capture a lot of what is currently happening out there in the commercial musical instrument world. It is of noted interest that there are some very interesting links in the comments section as well.
