What did you create?

i had build a mobile playground from metal wood and electronics that let people in the public space control complicated music softwares

Why did you make it?

I was always afraid to do electronic music and i wasn't sure if im good or worthy so i wanted to build a huge toy that will be a good reason to do it. it came because its was my shield made of metal and wood so no one will be able to crack it with sarcasm

How did you make it?

I programed the arduino and the teensy controllers to generate direct MIDI to the software. metal pipes were bent in a factory according to solidworks model that i made heart rate sensor controls the BPM was made of laser cut acrylic with LED the stands that holds the objects were made of metal laser cut some wood parts were hand made by lathe.
