You’re not, in fact, a lonely bedroom musician with no friends. You’ve got friends. You’ve got collaborators. You’ve got audio and visual artists who want to play with your laptop with sync piped between you, and yet wireless synchronization for laptop performance has often been an elusive ideal. Here, in spectacular fashion, you can see it all come together over WiFi with Ableton Live, a projection-mapped coffeemaker, and everything from percolation sounds to the keypad sound effect from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

This just in from Barcelona – a new Max for Live plug-in is making laptops and coffee pots jam in harmony. A proper review is in order from CDM. (Well, once we find a few friends… by astounding coincidence, I’ll be surrounded by Ableton users – visual and audio – next week in Rome. I’ll make it happen.) But that’s no reason to deny you the pleasure of the video now. It’s the best part of waking up.

    It will be a shame if we need to buy Max for Live to get proper syncing. It’s a feature that SHOULD work reliably just in Live.

      longtime lurker, but just thought I’d ask if anyone’s heard of Innerclock Systems? I’m not a spokesperson for the company, no affiliation, but they sell midi sync devices that sync laptops, synths, anything that uses midi. I mean, they’re not cheap and if this patch were readily available that would be awesome! But I do wonder whether over a long set, the sync would be 100% reliable. In any case, here’s the link to Innerclock Systems Product. Just be warned: it’s an interesting laid our site!
