The "reactable" is an intelligent musical instrument specially conceived for multi-user
performances. There's room for several players at this round table; visible on its surface are geometric figures, each of which symbolizes a specific sound. Moving the figures back
and forth, rotating or interlinking them modifies the sounds they produce. With its highly intuitive, user-friendly interface, the reactable can be played by anyone—from little kids to professional musicians. But this is not just some music-making toy; the reactable is a genuine instrument and, accordingly, it takes some practice to get the most out of it.
Proof of this was recently provided by Scandinavian artist Björk, who used one on her latest world tour.
