I found this both at GetLofi & Rekkerd. Gameboys are normally used for the eight bit funkiness. the kBANG Gameboy is more of a drum machine. It controls solenoids that are used to bang on stuff.

I wrote about Foals remix thingy yesterday. Radiohead also has a remix thingy going. Just slightly higher profile. Slightly. The down side is you have to buy all the tracks from iTunes for $5.49. You also can get a Garage Band project. The track is 6/8 time. Some people might like getting away from 4/4 some people might hate that though. Its not so much paying for it for me it is paying for it form iTunes that bugs me. I don’t care for iTunes that much.

You can find a lot more tracks to remix from DanceTracks Digital. They have music available in Aleton Live format.

The Automata / Automaton Blog has this cool musical box xylphone type gadget. I wonder if the pegs would fly out if you really cranked the sucker.

This looks like it came out of a Terry Gilliam or Tim Burton Movie. If you removed the keyboard it looks like it might be a early prototype in jet engine research. You can find at more about slightly insane The Harmonic Generator at Odd Music. Any instrument that has 32 motors is cool by me.

Open Source Works can source how to run Guitar Rig on Ubtuntu. Cool. You can find more stuff like this at Linux VST Compatibility. With Ardour and other works it looks like Linux is becoming more and more viable for more music makers.

The Microphone Site is a pretty amazing collection of mic information.

I got sanother plug-ins link. I haven’t got play with them much but whiteLABEL has a bunch of free plug-ins. The look good and seem pretty cool on first inspection.
