Listening to: Lifetime Piling Up - Talking Heads

Toshio Iwai, the creator of the delightful DS game Electroplankton has created a new musical instrument called the Tenori-on:

From BoingBoing:

Currently in the prototype phase, it consists of a 16 by 16 grid of LED buttons within a square aluminium frame about the same size as a lightpen tablet, and also contains two in-built speakers.

…

Each of Tenori-On’s LED buttons can either be lightly strummed, sort of like a harp, or alternatively pressed down, whereby each button lights up. Musical notes are triggered by a regular line of light that moves from left to right, much like the sweeping line in PSP game Lumines.
