Seriously though, what is it with alternate controllers and the aversion to playing something accessible to most listeners? If you ignore the video and just listen to the audio from that you wouldn't think "What an amazing expressive instrument." It sounds like a cat jumping from synth to synth in a crowded Japanese synth shop.

Maybe something that lent itself to a cello interface instead of synth noise? Don't mean to crap on her video. I mean, really.. I wasn't smart enough to make a cello out of LASER BEAMS. But, it sounds more like laser drum triggers in the shape of a cello. Helene, more videos please! I wish she played something a bit more.. eh.. tonal?
