There was a time when a drummer would grab some sticks and lay out a groove using the items around him as instruments. [Lsa Wilson] would rather not work quite that hard and has chosen to do the same thing by tapping on an iPhone screen. As you can see in the clip after the break, many of the items in the room around him have been fitted with solenoids. Each is connected to an Arduino which is then controlled by Open Sound Control and interfaced with the iPhone via TouchOSC. We love the sounds being created and can’t help being reminded of the Multixylophoniomnibus.

The Multixylophoniomnibus link is dead. Perhaps a misspelling?
Sorry, not a misspelling. It simply doesn’t have it’s own site yet….
*sigh*
@Jordan: Nope, you were right. That was a bad link.
Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed.
For a moment I hoped they would be hitting iPhones with drumsticks…
Touch OSC has been around forever. I control DJ gear with it.
Cant believe people are only now “discovering” it.
Yawn…
A chrome advertisement instead of a video? Do I smell one of those new non-compatible HTML “standards” like HTML5? Great. I know one video I’m not watching today.
Oh apparently that IS just an ad, and not a video. Now I’m a paranoid HTML5 bigot. >.<
Anyway, this is really cool. I guess I'm just sad that there's no video now.
Aha! Laziness conquered and videos found. Success! This is crazy awesome.
why’s that guy in some abandoned attic
@zool:
I have a feeling it’s his attic
