Description
June 2004: PSYCHORAMA / Secret experimental collective underground event in Bordeaux France/
Very very first public (and unofficial) Historical live use of LEMUR controller pad on octophonic (8 voices) amplified system, before his official launch in October 2004. It is the first digital touchpad screen controller ever used. After they seen this, Apple and Samsung have developed and patented their own tools.

About the LEMUR: (G.LARGILLIER linked in profile)
Guillaume LARGILLIER "founded and led JazzMutant with Pascal Joguet (CTO / COO). JazzMutant had been the pioneering company in Multi-touch technology and was the first company ever to bring to the market a product featuring a Multi-touch display (2 years ahead of Apple's iphone). The company aimed at creating a new generation of touchscreen devices for electronic musicians and digital artists (VJs). Years before Tablets became mainstream devices, we designed and sold the Lemur, a portable device that enabled musicians to perform their digital music live, be it on stage or in the studio. The lemur was acclaimed by specialized press worldwide and had been endorsed by the most impressive lineup of legendary artists, including Daft Punk, Björk, Nine Inch Nails, Black Eyed Peas, Ritchie Hawtins, MIA, Justice, Modeselektor, just to name a few of them.."
