A great song to finish this long February

Meet The World, is a campaign organized by Revista Grande Reportagem, with the idea to bring across the concept that the magazine offers profound journalism about topics of real importance to the world of today.

The reactable is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface.

Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on a luminous round table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

It has been developed by the Music Technology Group of the University Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), and was presented as the winner of the “Hottest Music Biz Start-Up Award” at this year’s MIDEM conference the reactable.
