Name of the piece: Note Cubes
50 word statement:
The Note Cubes is a set of tangible cubes designed for non-musician to explore sound, notes and rhythm. By putting them a line or also stacking them (just like playing toy bricks), you can let cubes trigger their "neighbor cubes "( left or right & up & down) to play notes.
Short tech description:
There is micro-controller (Trinket), photosensors, speaker and LEDs in each cubes. Each speaker can play notes when triggered by LED lights from other cubes under the control of micro-controller.
The cube's shell is made by hardboard by laser cutting.
