Digital music triggered by capacitive sensors

Music

Wayne and Layne, creators of the Tactile Metronome, are developing a “party game” called Nerdle that packs capacitive touch sensors on the exterior of the case.

On a whim, I edited the program to make sound based upon the what the buttons sensed. 30 seconds later, this beautiful music emerged.

    That’s one load of bleep beeping going on there :)
