Welcome to Motherboard

Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Build Your Own Beatbearing

Electronic music is kind of boring, right? There’s only so long you can sit around in front of a computer or a synthesizer or whatever and make beeps and boops and all that jazz.
The huge rise in popularity of this stuff has also led to a huge decline in hands on creation. Nobody really build their own synthesizer, why bother when you can get the same out of a program you can download in an hour?
The maker of this little machine is trying to change that. The Beatbearing Tangible Rhythm Sequencer turns beatmaking into a whole new ballgame. A ballgame that you can build yourself. The creator has supplied schematic diagrams online instead of putting the idea into production himself in the spirit of fostering creativity and being awesome, and I gotta say, the results are pretty damn cool.
Check out the video and if it inspires you to build your own… post the results.

    Wow... Awesome. This reminds me a lot of a video someone posted here before with paper cubes that worked in a similar fashion but this one looks like it would be much easier to use.
