Since the multi-use controller Monome first came out a few years back, it’s slowly gained a cult following thanks to its design.
If you’re unfamiliar with the device, the Monome is an interactive and adaptable MIDI interface that takes advantage of open-source software to manipulate any number of musical parameters.
With a grid-based design, the programmable buttons function as a drum machine, looper, slider or pretty much anything else you’d want to configure. In fact, the Monome’s multi-touch interface was around long before the iPhone and some versions even have a built-in accelerometer, adding a whole new dimension to music-making capabilities.
For either Strat-lovers who dabble with electronics or strictly laptop rockers, it’s become an asset in the digital music world. Because it requires a bit of athleticism on the part of the musician, it livens up otherwise uneventful electronic performances where artists just press play.

They provide a renewable supply of clean water and vegetable soap. When cooking, the plants act as a filtering hood. When it’s time to clean up, simply place the dirty dishes in the sink, close the hood, and the all natural clean cycle begins.
Several matches in the dark with pounding background music for the sake of the players’ confusion —who kept it cool and played quite impressively—, and a fashion show from Rubén Gómez Navarro that was… let’s say… “bright”. Standing out was a gigantic screen on one side of the court that showed the score and the players’ names, in a neatly designed animated way. Sony Ericsson style if you will. When the championship finished, the court was to be the dancefloor, and Groove Armada the entertainers (Darren Emerson the previous day) with a great Video Dj performance in the mentioned screen. All in all, even if we didn’s see any single darn phone, Night Tennis is a perfect showcase of Sony Ericsson’s innovative spirit. Only one advice for those who plan to attend to the next show in Miami: non-epileptics only. Click on the Images for a larger view.
