ITF #169

In The Future…

            …scientists will invent the pitch-correcting shower sprayer for the lead vocalist.

(via /. and the Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald).

Scientists from Australia’s CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) announced recently (Press Release 16 November 2006) the development of a tee shirt allowing the wearer to play air guitar solos and produce real (sample synthesized) riffs (Project homepage, listen to the podcast, or watch the video).  Garage bands and hopefuls worldwide applauded the development and breathlessly await commercialization.

The invention also comes in guiro (a gourd-derived latin percussion instrument, wikipedia entry here) and tambourine versions.
