Cutting edge

One of the things I love about my work is that I so often spend time with people who are right at the cutting edge of their chosen field.

Yesterday, for example, I had lunch with Atau Tanaka, at Goldsmiths.

Here he is at the Sorbonne demonstrating how to use the accelerometers in iPhones (and some pretty advanced realtime software) to create intriguing music from a few loops, based on the gestures of the performers.
