Watches for music making? Have I lost my mind?

This occurred to me when I saw an ad for a smartwatch. You know, one of those new Android powered devices that's about the same size as a watch, and I started to wonder about the possibilities for music making on a watch. You may be thinking that I've lost it now, but I can remember when the idea of making music on a PDA seemed like nonsense and look where we are today.

So, any thoughts on how you'd do it? I could certainly see an RJDJ app running on a smartwatch. What do you think?

    Flüd makes a watch that looks like a mini-MPC. Doesn't actually function as one, just a calculator but shows what it could look like, good or bad.

    You would need some innovative UIs. Accelerometer air drumming would work, potentially theremin-oids too. If you had a camera on it you could start doing gesture-based composing, or use paper-based UIs and update the melody as you write.

    Changing the constraints of musical interfaces is one of the things that keeps me awake at night wondering.

    ...and then there comes the day when it makes both more sense, as well as feels far better, to buy a tube made from brass, then to blow, honk and squark down it like no being has honked before.....!

    You've lost your mind, especially if the idea keeps one awake at night!! lol!
