TUMBLE-A-TUNE Tumbling Music Interface 1.0

http://tumble-a-tune.blogspot.com/ These paper models are rough prototypes for the TUMBLE-A-TUNE Fruitstand Band. The black and white symbols enable a web cam positioned above the table to track the movements of the objects and convert them to musical notes. Here we are testing the BUZZYBLUE and the BERRYBOXIS set to a mixolydian musical scale. I am using reacTIVision camera tracking to generate MIDI notes that are being piped to Ableton Live for voicing. The final version of the toy will be standalone, doing all the musical magic via internal circuitry. The TUMBLE-A-TUNE Will be built with ages 5-10 years in mind. Check out the blog for more exciting progress.
