Surprising how long it has taken for someone to make this a product, the general idea goes back to at least the early 60s with LaMonte Young and realized in 69 with his Dream House[0] and became common with the rise of the rpi, anyone who has spent much time in the audio DSL community has seen countless posts along the lines of "I just bought 10 rpi and I want to make a bunch of synced standalone synths for an installation but have no idea how." It will be interesting to see what comes of Alles/AMY and what people do with it.

Thanks for that reference, it reminded me of Rainforest[0], which IIRC I found out about on the “Ohm: Early gurus of electronic music” album (one of the few physical CDs I have kept along with its packaging, it actually belongs to my daughter now).
It was a good day when OHM was released, probably still have my copy, I do still have the 128k mp3 rip of it I did 20 some years ago. Rainforest can be watched on the amazing ubuweb. Not much for dance myself but watching this was interesting, took effort at first and I am not sure what I think about it but it certainly had an effect.
