Introducing the AlphaSphere – New Instrument and Controller

·0 comments·

The AlphaSphere is a new electronic musical instrument and controller which reinterprets the way we interact with sound. Its distinct design is made up of 48 pressure sensitive pads which form a modular spherical structure. Sound is triggered when you tap the pad, apply more pressure and you can start to mould and manipulate the sound further. Apply parameters to the pad-depth such as MIDI CC data, aftertouch, and pitch-bend to make your music truly expressive.

Shane Hendrickson tours by the light of his Radial Firefly

When you grow up in a small Canadian prairie town with a population of under a hundred people you might set a goal for yourself to expand your horizons. Bass guitarist Shane Hendrickson has long left Crane Valley, Saskatchewan and currently juggles a roster of shows touring with fellow Canadians Natalie MacMaster and Aaron Pritchett and now also Nick and Sophie Tweed-Simmons. Mighty impressive for the completely self taught Hendrickson. (The closest music lessons were an hour drive from his childhood home.) Life is now anything from predictable and can change with one phone call..and Hendrickson wouldn’t have it any other way.
