Description:
The Reactable is based on a translucent and luminous round table. By putting tangible pucks on the Reactable surface, turning them, and connecting them to each other, performers can combine different elements such as synthesizers, effects, sample loops, or control elements to cre- ate a unique and flexible composition. Reactable’s pucks represent the building blocks of electronic music. Each one has a different function in sound generation or effect processing, in a method deeply inspired by modular analog synthesizers such as those developed by Bob Moog in the early 1960s. Includes a brief discussion of this performance.
