] Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for ] electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on ] a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. ] One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, ] juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic ] melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and ] apply digital processing all at the same time on the same ] table. Audiopad not only allows for spontaneous ] reinterpretation of musical compositions, but also ] creates a visual and tactile dialogue between itself, the ] performer, and the audience.
