John Klima created glasbead which is a three-dimensional interface with allows for twenty people to make music simultaneously. The music is made from stems that emerge from the center of the orb. These stems can be slung around using the computer's mouse and when they are knocked into each other they make a sound. Volume and pitch is controlled by using purple rings surrounding the stems. I found Klima's work to be highly interesting. The orb has a psychedelic look to it and the idea of being able to make your own music by swingin the stems around is pretty neat. I feel like a person cannot create good music without having an idea of how to play it. So I feel his project has a limited audience.
