[CyborgCamp](http://cyborgcamp.org/) seems like just the start of something. The mood is just a bit different. It’s part information. part hardware and a kind of personal experience that brings machines more deeply into conversations about intelligence, information and human personality.

[John Nastos](http://www.jazzpdx.org/) performed at CyborgCamp, playing the [EWI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EWI). The EWI is an electronic wind instrument that connects to a PC or Mac by cable or usb. Performers can edit the sounds, record straight to the computer or perform in a live setting, like at CyborgCamp.

It’s definitely a cyborg style instrument. I felt it fitting to play the music to the Flickr photos I discovered with the tag [“cyborgcamp.”](http://flickr.com/search/?q=cyborgcamp&w=all) Photo credits at the end of the video.:-)

Thanks again to Amber, Bram and everyone else who made CyborgCamp such a compelling event.
