Hamster-controlled MIDI

Posted by michael on from the better-than-most-composers dept.

haeger writes "I found this wonderful page on the net. The project was initially fueled by the desire to explore the MIDI protocol. It was decided that this would be accomplished by building a MIDI device, and an intelligent hamster controlled MIDI sequencer was designed. Each voice was controlled by two hamsters: one that was responsible for adjusting the rhythmic qualities of the melody and another that modified the note sequence. With all of these elements in combination, an output was produced with very musical qualities. This is like Fritz & His Performing Hamsters with a geek twist. Video and music is provided on the webpage."

    Those poor hamsters seem to be unable to generate the power needed to keep that website running. Then again, it's usually the gerbil that makes the little metal wheel spin fast, in my experience. ~UP
