Join us for an exclusive presentation of AlphaSphere - the new electronic musical instrument developed by nu desine, as part of their ongoing residency at Pervasive Media Studio.  Freeing the modern producer-musician/composer from the computer, and re-connecting with the instrument and realm of live performance.

Receiving seed-funding to initiate development by Media Sandbox in 2010, nu desine have received private investment to continue development and are working on initial Alpha Testing both here at the studio and with Waxx Off in Ibiza, as the first part of their softlaunch.

This exclusive introduction will focus both on the technical hurdles in developing AlphaSphere, a practical demonstration of the instrument and a synopsis of the journey so far.  Music and the music industry is in a state of flux, and new paradigms in hardware production, such as Rapid Prototyping, mean that the barriers-to-entry of the music hardware market have been eroded.  AlphaSphere is a disruptive product in a changing market, offering laptop-musicians a new way of producing/performing music, audiences an engaging experience of electronic music and traditional musicians & instrumentalists access to the new sound.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week
