The Awesomeness of Technology

[gutturalpiss]

From Poland, BeatMachine is a project that sequences beats in a step sequencer using discarded beer bottle caps. Would-be Internet haters, I suggest you count the number of beer bottle caps on the table, and start drinking that number while watching. I guarantee eventually it’ll seem like a brilliant idea.

This is so cool, I'm thinking of actually investing my time to do something similar with http://puredata.info/ (or Max/MSP for some people) and/or http://www.openframeworks.cc/
