I normally don't go in for these Creative Solutions For Breaking Down The Barrier Between Performer And Audience (anyone that has ever played a rock show for 5000 people knows that barriers, or barricades more appropriately, are definitely desired between performer and audience...) but this is kind of a nifty idea. Brian Crabtree has made a Box that is an array of buttons that can control pretty much any program that accepts MIDI controller data.

[His site](http://nnnnnnnn.org/index.php?n=0001) also has some MP3s of his work up, which aren't bad at all. Go have a look/listen.
