Russian product and motion designer based in New York - Pavel Golovkin released a concept of minimal-looking pocket synthesizer ZONT built for sound geeks and electronic music composers. We are not sure if he is going to run a crowdfunding campaign but it can be worth of it.
“The Zont synth is the kind of product that is so beautiful that you want to believe it would help you immediately lay down a killer beat upon picking it up. I know I’m dying to try it, and I am about as confident in my music-making prowess as I am in my ability to do rocket science.”
“If the brain has the wrong prior knowledge, our perception will be false. With modern technology we can make many novel pictures that the brain has not been designed to comprehend.
We cannot avoid having false perceptions of these pictures. One object that it is almost impossible to perceive correctly is the inside of a hollow mask of a face. When we look inside this hollow mask, we cannot help but see it as a normal convex face. Our prior belief that faces are convex and not hollow is too strong to be modified. If the mask is slowly rotating, an additional illusion is caused. Because we see the mask inverted, the tip of the nose appears to be the nearest part of the face, when it is in fact the part that is furthest away. As a result we misinterpret the movement of the mask and see the direction of the rotation reverse whenever we are looking into the hollow.”
