а вот, глядите, синтезатор для iOS. да еще какой:
Back in June Akai Professional released SynthStation for the iPhone / iPod touch, and we got excited. Very excited. Why? Because we love synths, especially when they are the old school type (cue Terminator soundtrack). And it just so happens to be that Akai has got a rather large name for itself when it comes to synths, especially the old school type.
или, скажем, драм секвенсор — все, как у взрослых. если не хуже.
музыка, звучащая в крови

или вот еще тоже подход к сочинительству:
The program takes protein structure (PDB) and secondary structure (DSSP) files as input and generates a file that is used to by the program midge to produce a MIDI file. It sequentially examines each residue and assigns notes depending on the scale used <...>. The beat/tempo and percussion are chosen by the secondary structure.
эхо

такие разные рояли:
The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.

ну, и, конечно, вувузелы — все только и говорят о необходимости их убрать. а между тем прекрасный инструмент:
I beg to differ. For devotees of pure sound, as followers of the Art of Listening must surely be, massed vuvuzelas are a fascinating thing: more than simply the aural equivalent of a Mexican wave, the constant, tiny variations in volume and tone turn the crowd into a single, responsive entity.
и там же примеры:
While the drone may be a new discovery for football fans, it has an extensive musical history. Perhaps one or more of the following clips will serve as a good alternative soundtrack to viewers who tire of the vuvuzela.
в App Store, кстати, уже 19 приложений, что позволят запустить эмуляцию вувузелы на вашем iPhone. да и сами дудки раскупают на глазах.
натурально, а почему бы и нет?
рояль в кустах

обычное пианино для новомодного планшета (there’s an app for that, натурально) впечатляет, к сожалению, не очень.
зато совершенно другое дело нетрадиционный подход — тем более, как говорит Стивен Хоу:
<...> that’s something I think that a composer like John Cage would be very interested in.
играться и играться, не переставая.

еще музыкальные инструменты: раз (попроще) и два (посложнее; абсолютно прекрасный набор).

виртуальное пианино, между прочим. играем без остановки в четыре руки.
как говорится, до 12 часов траур, а потом дискотека.

музыкальные инструменты, кстати, можно создавать самым неожиданным образом:
His Ghost Detector is a musical instrument built by ‘hacking’ any electronic device that generates sound. Random lengths of wire are connected to randomly chosen places on its circuit board. The wires receive radiation of all kinds, and the results are translated into sound.
и в самых неожиданных местах:
Performers Katelyn Clark and Xenia Pestova will play multiple toy pianos and portable percussion instruments, placed strategically throughout the cave’s winding passages. Canadian Music Centre Associate Composer Erik Ross will provide an electroacoustic soundscape, which will be played back by loudspeakers, creating an intricate sonic tapestry. According to the composer, the audio material will be based upon Canadian environmental themes and use sounds directly inspired by the cave setting, such as running water, as well as spoken text.”
