well it's actually two tunes together: "Bucky done gone" from MIA, and the guitar-stuff is from Igor Vdodin "A russian sailor's trip in brazil".

The selection was quite random, it was just some tunes I had at hand at that moment ... nevertheless the two songs fit quite nicely.

reacTIVision has a midi mode. You will need to start it from the terminal via a special prompt. You can find a lot of info at the reactivision forum hosted here .
You can also write a patch in PD or Max that will convert the osc-messages into midi.

Tonight I will be presenting some tricks with Ableton Live and reacTIVision here in Barcelona, at the science museum Cosmocaixa. I made some gigantic cardboard-symbols and will give them to the audience, thus converting the audience into an instrument, hehe.

There also will be a presentation of the reactable, with some members of the team that built it.

I hope I get some videos and will post them here.

OSC messages, processing, and reacTIVision
(i dont know how to put a link to it, seems more than a simple web page...)
and if you have ANY ideas, share them.

my email works good too: [email protected]

Awesome way to drive a djset.

Could be pretty cool for composing too.

I'll look into this for sure.
