A New Instrument - how it works

[nikgml]

I do not understand all this fuss and controversy about Airpiano! As long as Jo is involved and works with it, I'm sure there is space for improvement and perfection. It is a great invention or whatever you may call it but greater it stands in the hands of such a genious artist!

The theremin of a new century. The martians will be landing soon!

[Rajonty]

A midi controller. Not an instrument.

[Rajonty]

@itscodyw she said any sound not any song

[itscodyw]

aney song you say? lets hear Hungarian Rapsody No. 2! :D

[Sordel]

So annoying that people keep saying there's a backing track ... but I'd really describe it more as a controller than an instrument.

[sthugh]

I dunno Jo. It wouldn't be for me, but you seem to be making the most of it. Some people won't like it, and others will take a while to get used to it. I'm sure a lot of my subscribers were a little taken-a-back when I started using a Roland guitar synth on some things, but they're starting to adjust to it. Good luck with it.

[Sta6kA]

yes but will it blend?

[pontepolentepontepi]

Beautiful :-)))

[AndrewGmusic]

This is awesome. I want one. The closest I get to this at the moment is the D Beam on the AX Synth and that is fun already.

[mike23984]

lol at everyone thinking there is a backing track

[musoid]

This is based on the "Theremin" which is the same principle except that the guy who invented it, Leo Theremin, did it in the 1920's! true genius.

[TheTilly65]

@colouredbloodred There is no backing track, Thats the point.

[yodellikeyoumeanit09]

where do you even get one of those?

[twoinoneeee]

nothing new... it's like a new kind of theremin like controller for audio software...

[jdb83xl]

cool

[placeholder666]

oh that is too cool

[Addiction747]

PLEASE i need the mp3 for this song! It's awesome!

[johamiltongown]

@Addiction747 :-) you can hear the whole piece in the full film 'A New Instrument' over at Jo's website - there's an album available too (although that piece isn't on it., the other one in the film is)

[Addiction747]

@johamiltongown Oh ok thanks :) .. anyways i'm sure a song like this will find it's way onto the internet and on my hard drive shortly heheh

if you're actually jo hamilton, i'd like to tell you you're awesome, talented, beautiful, and all that.. keep it up!

[johamiltongown]

@Addiction747 Small update - the special edition of Gown is out now (on johamilton dot  com), with this track (Alive, Alive) as one of the bonus tracks.

[gyeomusic]

[RandomlineProduction]

THAT INSTRUMENT IS AMAZING!

[ScarKord]

Very impressive stuff, love all these new instrument innovations. Great voice too, reminds me somewhat of Dusty Springfield.
