Tenori-On
April 6, 2009
Whenever I read about the Yamaha Tenori-On or a stylophone, I imagined the horrible noises about to be conjured up by people who are convinced that what they’re doing with them is making music. However, a friend introduced me to Little Boots over this weekend, who along with vocals and piano uses a Tenori-On to make music.
Her cover of Bullet in the Gun, shows how she uses programmed beats on the Tenori On, as does Time to Pretend. She’s also got a few of her own songs, such as Meddle and Stuck on Repeat
Perhaps it’s because I’m a fan of electronic music that I don’t just consider this to sound like a polyphonic ringtone, but I love her music already.
