A couple weeks ago I saw Bjork at Coachella. I didn't know at the time but Bjork was actually "using" the retracTable. If you're familiar with the device, you know what a mind-bending piece of hardware it is. If not, here are some links to get you started:

However, I agree entirely with this:

kvr said: "I'm almost certain Reactable and the Lemur weren't actually controlling anything though... They would keep showing close-ups on the big-screens of the Lemur interface, and the guy controlling it would be riding the faders throughout the entire song but I couldn't actually hear any changes in the music. The same with Reactable... the guy was busy placing and removing modules, moving them around, rotating em, but no change in sound whatsoever and the pulse in the middle of the table wasn't even on time with the tempo of the song. Cool that they are using dope, new technology but very lame that it was all for show. I also caught a quick glimpse of another guy behind a laptop using Ableton Live, who was probably the only one who had any control over anything... most likely just triggering scenes."
Here's a vid of Bjork on tour actually using the thing:

And here's some information on Lemur:

"Great. Just what we need, Lemur and Ableton Live.
Basically Guitar Hero and PS2, but for people with more money."
LOL
