Every week, Axehole looks for the most unusual music news or site we can find, the one thing that gives us that WTF? moment.

This week, we bring you the mobile music-making Tie Fighters of Weltklang, a German electronic electronic music duo.

From Bert Schiettecatte in Belgium come AudioCubes, described as a tangible interface for sound design and exploration, under development at PERCUSSA.

The interface consists of an arbitrary number of plastic cubes. Each of the cubes is capable of sound processing.

The cubes can be connected to a computer and can be programmed to process sound signals. By positioning and moving the cubes relative to each other, sound processing can be changed and a variety of sounds can be quickly designed and explored.

A demo video is available.

Technical info on the AudioCubes is available at the Stanford site.
