I wonder how blind-friendly it is. Stevie seemed able to play it pretty well.
 
2012-05-12 12:54:43 AM
That's pretty cool. Can't wait to hear him play it.

Skin flute?

No one tell him he's in the kitchenware department.

It really doesn't have to be all that blind-friendly. He's Stevie Farking Wonder.

I don't always have a musical legend try out my invented instrument, but when I do, I make sure to film it with a Furby.

Not every day Stevie gets to watch either, subby. But thanks for the link, now I need to see this thing recorded on decent video.

Aren't all musical instruments blind-friendly? Sound waves, m8. I'm sure you've already figured it out. OTOH a deaf-friendly instrument would really shake things up.

I like when masters of a craft sit down to something new and they pick and poke at it trying to understand it. Like when a IT guy sits down in-front of a new computer or a mechanic working on a new vehicle. It's interesting to watch someone when you can observe their mental-wheels spinning trying to take in new information at a rate much faster then the normal person.

Very cool video.

/wipe your phone camera lens before you start shooting...jesus.

So what's the song after "Superstition" @1:10?
 
2012-05-12 09:13:07 PM
lol

Stevie walks up, touches it and the noise it makes as he searches it by touch is music right off the bat... THAT is one hell of an endorsement for the design.

Came here to express this thought, much less eloquently. I can't even imagine inventing a musical instrument in my basement, and then having Stevie F*cking WONDER come over and ask me to build him one, too.

How interesting to see a musical prodigy such as Stevie Wonder
exposed to a musical instrument he'd never heard of before.

Wouldn't it be amazing to watch how quickly he mastered it? I'd be surprised and
amazed if it took him very long, He was already producing fluid chords and notes. It
seems like kind of a fusion of guitar and a keyboard, which he already well understood.

Does anyone else think it would be awesome to see some of the historic musical talents
exposed to the technology we have available today? Just imagine Beethoven's face
after hearing what modern synthesizers and recording techniques could do! He'd
forever be changed and I think he'd create some astonishing stuff.
 
2012-05-12 09:34:14 PM
Very cool.

Here's legendary Indian composer A. R. Rahman playing around on one for the first time.
 
2012-05-12 10:07:17 PM
If i created a musical instrument and Stevie Wonder wanted one, I would probly just faint,

Good for this guy,

Stevie is a talented musicians, but I have often wondered if the person that picks his wardrobe him is also blind.

LewDux: Didn't he ruined music in 70's or something?

Top five musical crimes perpetrated by Stevie Wonder in the Eighties and Nineties: go. Subquestion: Is it, in fact, unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins: is it better to burn out than to fade away?

/ In direct answer to your question: No, that came later
 
2012-05-13 11:59:01 AM
I think the crimes of Part Time Lover are more than canvelled out by Superstition.
 
2012-05-14 12:04:03 AM
That was cool. You could tell Stevie was getting tired of being filmed, tho. He kept looking at the camera.

No, you helped ruined Fark in the 2010s. It's okay, it's an easy mistake to make when you're not paying attention and also dumb as shiat.

I have to say, as much as I appreciate their sincere attempt to do justice to the song, their take on it comes off as surprisingly unfunky. Even for white guys.
