Posted March 25th 2005 under Sound
Whilst doing my dissertation research on appropriated technology, I was introduced to gameboyzz orchestra use Gameboys and other low-tech devices to perform their music.
On the subject of using a Gameboy for sound, digital artist Toshio Iwai (mentioned in previous posts) has created Electroplankton for Nintendo DS.
The built in microphone and the touch screen gives the player control over the various interactive scenes. They do remind me very much of some soundtoys that I have seen over the years, but nice to see this kind of thing appearing on a portable. Being released in Japan, but unclear on a western release.
