Re: Theometrica
Technically quite interesting - distance measuring laser I'd guess - but musically not my bottle of beer (cups of tea are so 'yesterday') :tongue:

Here's a goodie! An interview with inventor, sculptor, and instrument designer Andy Cavatorta, concentrating on How to Build a Magnetized Piano Harp.

Our purpose is unique to us, just as meaning of our life is unique to us. Thus should be obvious there is no universal purpose. There is no universal meaning of life.

Here's a goodie to start the year in 2016 - the Cemaes Bay Tide and Time Bell:
"The rise of the water at high tide moves the clapper to strike the bell. Played by the movement of the waves, the bell creates a varying, gentle musical pattern."

Re: Innovative sounds & recording methods
Now here's something really different - a live performance using recycled components that's actually musical:
"The band placed ventilation fans onto overhead projectors and attached tiny solar panels that connected to speakers. They programmed the circuit so that when the ventilators were switched on, they’d power the projectors, feeding light into the solar panels, which in turn produced sound from the speakers."

Re: Innovative sounds & recording methods
Just discovered this fascinating discussion of Harald Bode's instruments, with loads of audio snippet examples:

Re: Innovative sounds & recording methods
This is more of an innovative instrument player instead of the actual instrument sounds themselves, but just as fun and innovative anyway. :smirk:
