littleBits (re)intro

You might remember littleBits from this previous post.

"littleBits.cc

littleBits is a growing library of pre-assembled circuit boards that snap together with tiny magnets!

Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together.

With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers, students and designers."

Rhodes To Enlightenment Featuring Teenage Engineering's OP-1

via an Interview with Virtual Flannel on Teenage Engineering's site:

"TE: Tell us about your latest release "Rhodes To Enlightenment"?

'I had just gotten my rhodes, it's a Fender MK1. I was very inspired by it and at this time the OP-1 had already become my axe. Once I got into a groove the tracks were just flowing. I decided to keep it very minimal, using only the Rhodes and the OP-1's stock drum kits(which I love!). I am not a trained musician and the rhodes could use a servicing, but I used my creativity to hopefully make aka something interesting.'"
