To my knowledge, Bjork is the only musician to have used a Reactable during a live performance. I saw it played at her show in Detroit on her Volta tour. After a little poking around, I found out that it’s as wild as I though it might be…….
“The reactable is a collaborative electronic music instrument with a tabletop tangible multi-touch interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on a luminous round table surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.”

Some of my buddies in Boulder made one to use in their group MFA. Here's a link to the video. Don't ask me how they did it!
