Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?

The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

FUTURE OF THE FUNK: Pat Metheny's Robo Orchestra

YouTube Preview Image

Okayyyyyyyyyyy this is much bananas.  Brooklyn-based jazz guitarist Pat Metheny has programmed/summoned/enslaved dozens of robots to construct a full orchestra, all controlled literally at his fingertips.  By connecting his MIDI guitar to an intricate system of sonic remote control, he’s able to literally create his ideal sound.  And he’s taking it on tour with what he called The Ochestrion Project.  Must suck to wait for it all at the baggage claim though.
