Leather and Snakeskin MIDI Controllers by NYC electronic artist Rucyl Mills

I dunno what was NYC electronic artist Rucyl Mills thinking when he planned to make something like the Elektro-07 music controller? It’s a good thing that he made a music controller but why did he have to make it wearable and that too this hideous looking. I guess he justifies his product best so ill just let him have his say. He says, “I built the elektro-07 so I could control the sonic and visual parameters of my live performances without having to look deep into the eye of my laptop, hunched over in computer music stance. I’m still learning how to play it. Software wise, it runs a maxMSP/Jitter patch smoothly, connected to my laptop by a long USB cable. Major thanks to Luke DuBois.

Originally it was named the Chakakhantroller after Chaka Khan… but you wouldn’t believe how many people don’t get the reference. So I changed it to Elektro-07 after my newly launched label, Elektrocardio. Next version will be wireless, and yes… it’s made of black leather and snakeskin.” If you love music as much as Rucyl Mills then I do not doubt your intentions of buying this (skirt?).
