There's been a big buzz around the Eigenharp the last year or so. It is a very interesting instrument, which gives you expressive possibilities that you simply don't have in any other instrument. The inventors were long time electronic music fans experimenting with computers to make the music they craved for. They missed the live performance possibilities and decided to develop the best instrument for live electronic music. After 8 years designing, exeperimenting and prototyping the Eigenharp Alpha and Pico was released in late 2009.

The Eigenharp from Eigenlabs now comes in three models, the flagship Alpha (from £3995), the mid-level Tau (from £1899) and the small Pico (£399). At Musikmesse, Eigenlabs demoed the different Eigenharps, and it was interesting to see what can be made with it. But I guess it takes a lot of practice, and patience to be really good at it. Enjoy the demo we filmed at Musikmesse.
