Remember the days when DJ's used spinners and crazy soundboards? Oh right! Most still do, but the future of cool beats and synth sounds seems to lie in a cool technology called Reactable Technology. As the video and picture shows it seems like a cute interactive table that people would find at a club featuring DaftPunk. In reality this technology is being introduced to the music and clubbing world as interactive bar tables are serving drinks on sensor coasters and famous singer Bjork begun to use the Reactable as a medium for some of her performances.
The concept is to physically interact with the sound cubes on the table and measure the beat and rhythm by the distance and setting you applied between the interacting cubes and discs. On top of it all it's design is sleek and stylish for the Techno-beat DJ's which are their lead target investors.
While looking at this cool glowy instrument I wonder how it will affect the way people define talent within the music mixing circle. How someone who needs to ear out and synthesize beats between records has been rendered obsolete by a kid whith a new glowy table full of cool lines, sounds, and shapes. At the same time this new technology may add an element to the vintage style of DJ mixing, while one spins, the other Reactables.
This is something I would love to see developed in the future and used more often, especially since autotune has finally gotten on my nerves, its time to React, with this cool new table.
