Video Guitars are the Future of Live Music

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 08:32:02 GMT

Which comes first, the music or the video? The question is moot now that artisan Ben Lewry of Visionary Instruments, has built an LCD video display into his guitar. After several prototypes, his custom video guitars now can run visualizations or movies by simply popping in a USB thumbdrive into a back panel. Visualizations can even be triggered with MIDI signals by playing the guitar. Steven Wilson, of Porcupine Tree, was so taken by Ben’s designs that he’s now rocking a video guitar to sold out shows around the world.

MakerBot’s Bre Pettis, a man who knows how a lot about making robots and dreams come true, gives Irina the skinny on what MakerBot is and how it works.

Podcasters and videobloggers from all around the world converged recently on the eastern Los Angeles wasteland of Ontario, California for the Podcast and New Media Expo. As one can imagine, much incestuous self-referential media making went on among the attendees. And we at Geek Entertainment TV are no different. See which micro-celebrities Irina accosts with her microphone. Odds are, you are probably one of them.
