monome

i started using max/msp earlier this year, i wanted to build a customised environment for live performance and composition. after a while i realised that i needed a controller that could be fully customised.

i discovered monome - http://monome.org i was drawn to not only the functional aspects - eg easy interaction with msp/max, endless programming possibilities etc... but the physical design and the sustainable nature of the monome business model.

so i ordered a 128 and waited 5 months in the manufacturing queue. monome only produce small scale production runs.

it arrive in late june, and is now the centre piece of audio activities.

many thanks to Kelli and Brian for producing such a well resolved design. you can tell that they have put there heart and soul into the product, the packaging and the ethos behind it all.
