Roger Linn Events Featuring Eigenharp, Haken & SLABS

This in via Eigenharp:

"I'm writing to let you know about four events We will be attending in the San Francisco area from May 5th through 9th, Hosted by Roger Linn of Linn drum fame. We will be presenting the Eigenharps along with other revolutionary electronic instruments:

1) The Eigenharp, demonstrated by Geert Bevin, Senior Software Developer from UK-based Eigenlabs.


2) The Continuum from Haken Audio, demonstrated by bay area pianist Ed Goldfarb.


3) SLABS, a new instrument designed by David Wessel, director of Cal Berkeley's CNMAT computer music department.


4) The LinnStrument prototype by Roger Linn [see this video presentation of Roger Linn and this post announcing the Linnstrument back on May 15 of 2010.]

One thing that makes these instruments so uniquely expressive is their ability to sense the precise movements of each finger in 3-dimensional space (for example, pressure for note expression, left/right for pitch, and forward/backward for timbre), and to do that for all fingers simultaneously. But each instrument also presents many other innovative ideas and improvements over the limitations of traditional mechanical-age instruments.
