Presentation of BeatBlocks at Japan Robot Festival 2009, Toyama, Japan - The concept and music is made by Niels Kristian Bærendsen & Kasper Falkenberg (showing it on stage) in coorporation with Carsten Jessen. The hardware/technology (iBlocks) are made by Jacob Nielsen. With BeatBlocks you build your own music collages using technologic modules that will react to each other as well as their own orientation. Each BeatBlock has a colour which represents an instrument or instrument group - i.e. red means drums/rhythms, and each side on that cube activates a specific variation of the drum section in the music. The grey BeatBlock is a master, and has to be present in any structure you build in order for any audible music to be produced.
