Bling-Key Keyboard for Virtual Riot

Written By Moldover

I’ve designed a highly custom keyboard instrument called BlingKey for artist Virtual Riot. The instrument made its debut with Virtual Riot and VJ Neurite on their Stealing Fire fall tour.

In a new “quick demo” video (below), I offer an inside look at the keyboard’s design, construction, and the innovative features that make it truly one of a kind.

Big thanks to project consultants Craig Dorety, Brian Pinkham, Guy Matthews, Jon Moldover, Mélanie Clapiès, and Turner Kirk. Turner also developed the custom POVR headset used in tandem with BlingKey for live performances (pictured below).
