M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

The Roland TB-303 is a well-known bass synthesizer. Developed by Tadao Kikumoto in 1982, by order of Roland, this instrument was meant to imitate the sound of a bass guitar. In reality though, it doesn’t sound remotely as a real bass guitar and after 20,000 copies its production was shut down and the TB-303 was considered a “flop”. It wasn’t until the late eighties when the electronic dance music came into the scene that the instrument made a comeback in popularity. Which prompted Roland to market a replica of the TB-303, namely the MC-303 Groovebox.
