Kanye West has brought out a music mixing device called the Donda Stem Player that comes preloaded with his new album 'Donda2'. Priced at $200 is this an expensive toy novelty or a revolution in music creation? First, it is a wacky design, it has no screen, instead it is a round pebble like hand held device and is wrapped in a clammy feeling fleshy skin. There are are four radiating strips with touch sensitive led bars that allows you to record, loop, alter volume and add effects to either Kanye's sounds or any other you want upload via a usb connected to your laptop. To try and describe the freeform flexibility is best left to just say that it is going to be a device that you play, experiment and master with practise. I suspect that this is going to be all part of the fun and challenge just the same as learning any other musical instrument. Kanye's new album is only available on this device and he, along with it's co-creator Alex Klein, are looking to redefine how fans not just consume but interact and create with with it too. Given the amount of money Kanye could have commanded by releasing his album through the existing channels, he at least puts his money where his mouth is. https://www.kanyewest.com #Gadget #Kanye #Stem #West #Ye
