Interaction and industrial design changes the way music is made
Music technology influences interaction design
Physical form factors afford greater control in products and software
We can all learn a few things from physical musical technology
Hypotheses
This is a sneek peek into Jason’s grotto of geek
Focusing on a slice of hardware music tech
NOT software music technology
let’s go back in time...
