Thump: In such a technologically hungry scene as electronic music, DJs are always looking to take shows to 'the next level'. First, it was graphics and visuals, then it was costumes (Beetroots) and more gimmicky wearables (hey deadmau5). Then we progressed to more interactive feats—Dubfire Live.Hybrid, Plastikman's bubble, even ZHU's mysterious sheet. The list goes on.
Thalmic Labs' Myo Armband is predicated on a very simple understanding: that the line between man and machine is becoming more blurred.

Technology is ever growing and ever changing in this fast paced world we live in. Being able to have technology at our fingertips allows us to be more innovative when it comes to design and production. With these arm bands, it has completely changed how we are able to do theatre. I believe that with time, they will become more widely used as the consumer becomes more familiar with the product and how to go about using its functions the way they want to control it. I thought it was pretty neat how we were able to incorporate it into our production of The Wiz. Being able to coordinate the motions of the actor instead of relying on visual cues makes the show look a bit cleaner than what calling the cue requires. Now that we have this ability, I guess the question here is, how often we would use it so that we don’t forget how to make it work.
