Building an interactive instrument for a one-of-a-kind festival

As someone without musical ear but a healthy respect for makers of instruments of all kinds, this was a great article!

I tend to think that the bar for building e.g. a small synth is like those by mitxela [1], with a tiny microcontroller running C on the metal.

Then the author here uses multi-threaded Python to schedule notes and do millisecond-length powering of 30+ solenoids and make thousands of people feel it's a proper instrument?! Wow!

Great execution and beautiful results. The barcode looks also amazingly crazy

Amazing! I'd love to see more videos of people playing it

I'm wondering how eaux claires is pronounced here

Kind of like "oh-clare". It means clear waters.

So close to the french pronunciation? I would have expected to be heavily americanized like Detroit

Wow, well done.

This sound would fit perfectly in the Minecraft OST.

very cool!
