Synthia Set to Go

For those who've been reading this blog for a few months, you might recall my mentioning a few times about my side work on translating pictures into music -- and specifically, the Synesthesizer, a musical instrument that works by translating pictures into music, utilizing metaphors inspired by synesthesia.

Well, I've done a bit better than that -- way better than we could get the Synesthesizer to work. In fact, we at Almer/Blank Labs, have just completed the finishing touches on a new software-based musical instrument that we are debuting at FITC Amsterdam.

Her name is Synthia. And I wish I could tell you more about her right now. But that will have to wait another 133 hours. Because Synthia will debut on February 22nd, at 5PM CET (Amsterdam Time) / 9AM PST (California Time).

She will debut as soon as I complete my talk, Hearing Pictures, I will be able to tell you more about her. In addition to the release of Synthia, the talk itself will be *really* good. I've given a lot of talks, and this is going to be, by far, the best and most exciting.

If you're planning to be at FITC Amsterdam, then you will most definitely not want to miss this talk @ 4PM in Shaffyyzaal on Day 1, Monday, February 22nd.

Share and enjoy!
