And small wonder: for a mere £30 or so, the Wiimote provides interface power that just a couple of years before would have cost literally thousands. First announced in September 2005, the Wiimote didn't ship until 14 months later, and for at least a year following the first shipments, the demand far outstripped the supply. The Wiimote, as its friends call it, is arguably the greatest achievement in game controller history. These days much of the buzz, in the NIME crowd and among hackers all over the world, is about Nintendo's wireless Wii Remote. There's a vast international culture devoted to thinking about these questions and devising possible answers to them, and they meet every year at the New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) conference, which I reported on in the January 2006 issue of Sound On Sound ( Many in that group make their own interfaces, while others like to use off–the–shelf hardware borrowed from other areas, especially toys. So should we now be making rather more interesting choices about what constitutes a 'musical instrument'? What are the musical instruments of the future? Are we going to be using keyboards, guitars, saxophones, and drum kits forever? Thanks to digital technology, what an instrument sounds like doesn't have to have any connection with what it looks like or how you play it. Its potential as a music controller is unlimited, and you don't even need a Wii console to use it!
