A cheapo laser pointer, a solar panel and a clear vase filled with water are transformed into a music controller. Includes demonstrations of amp modulation, amp and freq mod and a more complex mapping as well.

Did you use MaxMSP for this? If not, what software? This could be a fun idea for my third year interactive sound design project.

[littlescale]

Yeah, I used Max/MSP for this. It's jus that it is so easy to use, eh!
