One of the best parts of live music is watching the musician become one with the music and that is definitely the case when Onyx Ashanti takes the stage with his beatjazz controller.

According to Jamie Rigg at Engadget:

Onyx’s 3D-printed interface receives inputs from a voice / breath-operated synth in the headgear, while the two handheld controls incorporate accelerometers, joysticks and pressure-sensitive buttons. Using this kit and his own software, Onyx is able to create live digital music with an amount of control you would only expect from desktop-based production software.

Even if electronic music isn’t your thing, viewers can’t help but be mesmerized by his passion for playing or admiring of his ingenuity. The instruments may change, but the feeling lives on.
