Play Songs By Pressing the Buttons of Your Phone

You already know you can have some melodic sounds by pressing the buttons of your phone. Here’s some instructions (say tablatures) for a couple of songs.

..You can play music on your phone by pressing the buttons on the top (1,2,3)…and along the side (6,9,#). But don’t play the 4,5,7,8,*, or 0. They sound even worse than the others.

You WILL Study

Are you one of the sluggish students that never study the exact amount of time that you promised yourself? Then be masochistic and order this . It is obligatory.

You chain yourself to this prison ball and set it’s led timer to the desired study time. Now you’re chained to 9.5kg/20.95 pounds of steel ball until the timer goes off.

It comes with emergency key and security timer limit of 4 hours.

Toothpaste Racism

This ad is from Thailand. Starts and goes on within an emotional line.But the surprising and weird (and tasteless) transformation in the end is totally an epic fail of the advertisement agency.

scoreLight: The Supercool Laser

scoreLight” is a prototype musical instrument capable of generating sound in real time from the lines of doodles as well as from the contours of three-dimensional objects nearby (hands, dancer’s silhouette, architectural details, etc). There is no camera nor projector: a laser spot explores the shape as a pick-up head would search for sound over the surface of a vinyl record – with the significant difference that the groove is generated by the contours of the drawing itself. The light beam follows these countours in the very same way a blind person uses a white cane to stick to a guidance route on the street. Details of this tracking technique can be found here.

Sound is produced and modulated according to the curvature of the lines being followed, their angle with respect to the vertical as well as their color and contrast. This means that “scoreLight” implements gesture, shape and color-to-sound artificial synesthesia [4]; abrupt changes in the direction of the lines produce trigger discrete sounds (percussion, glitches), thus creating a rhythmic base (the length of a closed path determines the overall tempo).
