The Whitney Music Box is a musical realization of the motion graphics of John Whitney as described in his book “Digital Harmony”. The dots are arranged to trigger notes on a chromatic scale when they pass the line. The dots are each timed to a different speed, but they synchronize themselves at constant intervals. Its a bit hard to describe, but you’ll love seeing it in action. There are 17 music box variations. Link

    That is freakin' fantastic. It would make a great teaching tool for psychoacoustics or music theory.

    The final variation is a lot of fun, because you control the direction and spped!

    Interesting idea, but I think you'd have to be a little stoned to keep from becoming bored.
