<br>The Xth Sense (XS) is a biophysical musical instrument. With the sound of your muscles you can produce music, and control any software applications.<br>The XS is free and open source, and it was named the “world’s most innovative new musical instrument” by the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (US, 2012).<br>
You can build your own with £10, hack it or modify it. No need of APIs and such. Just make it.<br><br><a href="http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/xth-sense/">http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/xth-sense/</a><br><br>hope some of you can make it there tonight.<br>
