Hapori Tohu Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 What happens when you combine some classic (gear-containing) Bionicle sets, an Arduino, a MIDI synthesizer, and some instruments? One of the most unique musical ensembles I've ever seen, that's for sure. Engadget reports that Guiseppe Acito, an Italian sound designer and producer, has combined all these things to create the Toa Mata Band, a new project featuring Tahu, Gali, Lewa, and Takanuva playing drum pads, xylophones, synthesizers, and more. You can check out his blog (in Italian) here for additional pictures and details. It's good to see we're not the only ones still playing with our Bionicle sets!View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta of Time Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm so going to use this song in one of my trilogy movies. I love the sound of the bass and of the xylophone. This is truly original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPenguin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Was I the only one who found it hilarious? Something about the way they're primitively bashing the instruments totally got me.

Artezza Magnus Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Totally reminds me of that party in Le-Koro in MNOG. Love the rythm.

GSR Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, this is pretty much the best thing ever. I love how much crazy stuff people do with Arduinos.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Nothing is more hypocritical than BZP linking to a page with a video. Very smart work, and it really shows that he put a lot of time into this. You really can do anything with Legos.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Really great. The idea is simple, as well as their way of playing instruments, but the effect is strong. Oh, and you should change his name: "Giuseppe", not "Guiseppe". "Guiseppe" doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratak Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Very intriguing. I'm waiting for their album to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
