dear designboom reader,
one of the ways to enjoy the weekend is to vibe with happy, trippy or soulful music. luckily, this can be possible anywhere, given that yamaha's keyboard-sized SEQTRAK creates electronic music for on-the-go raving. even suzuki has brought back its omnichord, a portable musical instrument that revives and generates '80s sounds for some synth dancing.
the new wave of musical instruments might also go for modern tech trends, such as designer arvind sanjeev's SPIN, where the AI music synthesizer allows producers to co-create compositions with a language model, musicgen. for those looking to groove with the sounds of strings, harley benton has rolled out a new series of wooden electric and bass guitars (note: they’re DIY kits!).
thanks for reading!
