It is hard to explain exactly what Yoshi Akai does. (He has no affiliation with the music instrument company, or small green dinosaurs.) I suppose its safe to say he makes art that makes music. Akai melds analogue products of yesteryear with digital products of yesteryear, throwing in some random items for fun. For example, he experiments in mixing turntables with 8-bit synthesizers, which get their input from a revolving Swedish cracker.
Here's my favorite invention of his. A 3 channel, 8-step synthesizer redesigned to take Lego pieces as input.
Another good invention are these gloves with sensors in them which create music based on motion and proximity. If he added some lights on the tips it would make for hours of pure entertainment.
As Akai says, this is "building sound more than playing sound." For more goodies, check out www.yoshiakai.com
