Ukulele and Keyboards - Fade To Grey

"Fin pops round to see Geishy and does "Fade to Grey". Originally recorded by Visage in November 1980.

Filmed on location in Geishy's basement with subsequent backing bits added back in the comfort of the shed. Special thanks to Hazel for doing the French voiceover.

Surface One - NAMM Vaporware from the Past

spotted this one on Analog Industries. It's the Surface One from Midiman, "a virtual control surface that is completely user-configurable. The basic elements (or objects) that the user manipulates consist of virtual channels, buttons, and knobs. Any object on Surface One is programmable and can transmit any message communicable via MIDI (including volume changes, note on/off, alterations to any parameters, program changes, etc).

Surface One utilizes a fiber optic-based touch-sensitive material as its primary interface. This smart fabric, originally developed by the Canadian Space Agency and now licensed by Tactex, transmits the information it receives through touch so it may be converted into MIDI and sent out of Surface One to control MIDI-compatible devices." It was shown at NAMM 2001. You can read the full release on Harmony Central.

Update via BirdFLU in the comments: "Musician's Friend had these for sale on their web site for about a year for $700. Stock status was always listed as "Coming Soon." They also had changed the color scheme to a more pleasing silver box with blue touch sensors."
