Buffalo State Professor Tomas Henriques plays an instrument he invented, the "Double Slide Controller." He leads the new Digital Music Ensemble.

A new music ensemble will make its debut at Buffalo State College tonight. But instead of using traditional instruments like violins or piano, they’ll play iPads, laptops, and use video game controllers. WBFO's Daniel Robison has more.

The performance begins at 7:30 PM Wednesday evening at Buffalo State.
