Audio D-Touch...

Okay, this could be kinda cool...

http://www.d-touch.org/audio/

"Audio d-touch is a collection of applications for real-time musical 
composition and performance, with very special user interfaces. The 
collection includes a drum machine and a sampling sequencer, both are 
controlled by spatially arranging physical objects on an interactive 
table surface. Each object represents a sound, and its position with 
respect to the surface is mapped to certain playback parameters...."

Watch the video.  It's kinda like a cheap, DIY set of audiocubes, or 
some other visual/physical interaction device.

It might be a little unwieldy, but I think it could possibly be used 
for Live Looping performances, given a little customization.  It 
would probably be excellent for vocal loopers and other performers 
who have their hands free.  Plus, you can probably run a parallel 
feed off the webcam and give your audience something visual as well.

I know the Max/MSP set will be quick to jump in and point out that 
this sort of thing has been available with Jitter for a while.  I 
know, I know.  But not all of us can program in Max (yet!) and, heck, 
this is free...  ;)
