Chris O'shea's blog
pixel sumo I came across these Incredible music making machines in his
latest post. In early 2008 Absolute, the vodka brand will launching a project called
The Absolut Machines which has brought together some incredibly talented and creative people to build some spectacular creative machines. The one which stands out to me is the Absolut Quartet is visual candy to watch as the machine fires rubber balls with amazing accuracy at a marimba on the built into the other side of the machine! Watch the you tube video of it in action

Created by Jeff Liberman & Dan Paluska is not only a piece of of audio visual art but you can also interact with the machine on line at the absolute site. Here you can record a short motive on the website using the keys of your keyboard, this is sent to the machine and it replays a live abstract version of what you have just played, back via a live video feed. The machine is currently on display at 186 Orchid St in New York at the time of writing.
