What is Continuum FingerBoard?

The Continuum Fingerboard or Haken Continuum is a music performance controller developed by Lippold Haken, a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois, and sold by Haken Audio, located in Champaign, Illinois.The Continuum is a MIDI controller; it does not generate audio. Rather, it must be connected to a sound-producing source that will receive MIDI input, such as a synthesizer module.The most recent model has begun to incorporate built in sounds, and can generate audio, but it is still primarily designed to be a controller.

A Continuum FingerBoard produces amazing sound that a lot of Music Composers use them creatively. The one I personally adore is the AR Rahman's version.

Movie of the Week : Clue (1985)

Directed by Jonathan Lynn. With Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry and Christopher Lloyd.

Clue is a 1985 comedy film based on the board game of the same name. The film is a murder mystery set in a Gothic Revival mansion. The movie was shot with three different endings and in the DVD release, we can watch all the three.

Synopsis:
In 1954, six strangers are invited to a party in a secluded New England mansion. They are met by the house butler, Wadsworth (Tim Curry), who reminds them each that they have been given pseudonyms to protect their true identity. During dinner the seventh guest, Mr. Boddy, arrives. After dinner, Wadsworth reveals the true nature of the party: all of the guests are being blackmailed to hide their secrets.

Verdict:
Amazing performance by Tim Curry and the whole gang. Witty Dialogues. Situational Humour. Its definitely one of a kind. Worth Watching before bed after a very hectic day!
