BAFTA Scotland Awards - photo from www.baftascotland.co.ukIt’s been quite a week! We’re still bouncing about with excitement after the BAFTA Scotland nomination. I thought you might like to see the other nominees in the Interactive category – after all, if you like The Lost Book, you might like them.

In alphabetical order, then, first up is British Music Experience. I have to confess to knowing next to nothing about the project – according to the website it’s “Britain’s new interactive museum of popular music” at The O2, where you can “explore, play, sing and dance your way through 60 years of British music history”. Gotta be fun!

The other contender is Cybraphon, a local project. Cybraphon is essentially a cabinet that plays music (the artists, Edinburgh-based collective FOUND, describe it as “an autonomous, emotional robot band”). But, and here’s the fun bit, Cybraphon has moods which define what tunes it plays. Cybraphon’s moods are dependent on how much it’s being talked about online. If it were plugged in at the moment (which apparently it isn’t) this blog post would no doubt cheer it up!

The awards ceremony is on Sunday 8th November 2009 and we’re up against worthy opponents. Hope you enjoy exploring British Music Experience and Cybraphon – but keep your fingers crossed for us!
