In 2013, Roland Lamb invented a technologically advanced keyboard that some say is set to revolutionize music. Called Seaboard, the instrument follows the usual configuration of piano notes, but it allows players to manipulate sound by massaging its silicone surface in various directions, which alters pitch and vibrato. Using advanced sensor technology, two rows of rubberized keys enable a solo player to sound like a full ensemble when he or she caresses the keys back and forth or up and down.
Lamb, originally from the U.S. and a musician himself, fine-tuned the instrument while studying under Ron Arad at the Royal College of Art. He has since founded his company, Roli, in London and launched the inaugural Seaboard Grand. The Design Museum of London has also taken note, and earlier this year named the instrument Product Design of the Year. – Erin Donnelly
