I Eat Beats from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.
"Skittle-based beat sequencer, a tangible and edible music interface. This is a prototype developed over the course of two evenings (inspired by the ball bearing sequencer, but uninfluenced by the bubblegum sequencer), with a webcam and Processing.
The first performance was done at RPI's Ground Zero open mic, recorded here.
The webcam is mounted using cardboard/wood above the screen, and Skittles are placed on the screen -- a cheap responsive surface (when a circle is active, it turns green).
Future directions may include: more sensor types (e.g., a slider for tempo control), note-sequencing mode, and assigning the different colors to different rhythms or instruments (purple as bassline, or yellow as "every other measure")."

Creative Machines Beat Sequencer
"Inspired by Peter Bennett's popular BeatBearing prototype posted on YouTube, and built with his encouragement, our Beat Sequencer provides a simple and intuitive way for visitors to create rhythmic compositions. The Beat Sequencer allows 'hands-on' manipulation of the beat. As a learning tool, the beat sequencer provides a visual way of discovering how several instruments are put together to make a composition." - by http://www.creativemachines.net/
