Here’s some footage of an interactive musical sculpture I saw at the Ars Electronica museum in Linz, Austria, back in May. The piece is called Quartet, by Jeff Lieberman and Dan Paluska. The viewer can input a melody via computer, and the sculpture then ‘improvises’ music based on the inputted notes. It involves ping-pong-like balls that are fired into the air and then land on the ‘marimba’ bars, plus rotating wine glasses filled with water that are made to sing by mechanical fingers, plus some robotic percussion.
