A new Tango console worth US$7490 up for grabs on www.humtoo.com

We're pleased to announce the latest project on www.HUMTOO.com. And the fee for the best track pitched is…drum roll please…the brand new Tango controller!

Tango is the revolutionary new intelligent controller from SmartAV the makers of the Smart Console.

Tango is a combination of a cutting edge control surface and 22" touch screen - combined and re-imagined to give musicians ways to interact with their music in incredible new ways.

For the music the tango guys are after, check out the Tango Demo Video on their pitch page. They're adding a new section to the end of this video in coming months covering the latest cutting edge music features that they'll be adding to the console.
So, they're after a 2 minute track outlining the style of music you propose for the new section of the video. They're after something exciting and upbeat but most of all cutting edge - something that shows off the spirit of Tango.

If you're successful, you'll get to work with the Tango guys to create the final piece for their video. Pretty cool hey?

They will pay the fee in the form of a brand new Tango controller (US$7490).
