Collective beat making

Last night, we went to a party sponsored by a large vodka company at Pine Street Studios (1101 E. 5th St in Austin, Texas). The venue was known as Fader Fort during SXSW 2009. The event ended early, like 10 p.m., but drinks were free and so was the entertainment. Peanut Butter Wolf was there to do his DJ/VJ thing, where he mixes music videos together on two big screens. (It reminded me of a much better version of the Much Music video dance parties we used to have in junior high.)

One room had this cool installation that involved a bunch of light sensitive sound making circuit boards mounted on a table. People were invited to manipulate the sounds. It was hard to tell exactly how you were affecting the music, but it was still fun!
