Peter Bennett, a PhD student at the Sonic Arts Research Center in Belfast, made this sequencer that you program with ball bearings. It has four tracks: kick, snare, hi-hat, and cowbell. – [via] Link.

I want that
EJsays:
Very cool, but it needs more cowbell.
:P
Dirkussays:
I’ve got a fever… and the only cure is MORE COWBELL.
Seriously though, if I had one of these on my desk I would NEVER get any work done.

I think that would be something cool to make. I’m just curious on how he made the red line running across the board. Is that a laser or LEDs ?

Tom,
I think the whole display is sitting on one of those interactive tables (made from a concealed IR camera and video projector). The line (and the circular ‘thumps’ as it makes as it passes the ball bearings) is an animation from the computer.
Cheers,

that is phenomenal! if only this was made into a 16-step version (for 2 bars, or 16th notes), then it would be truly useful and freaking fun to play with. also, i think it could use a little more cowbell.
