That video is amazing, especially the first bit when each ball does three things. If you want the first note, you get two others, and they have to work.

It is amazing - but it's an amazing piece of animation, not the real thing. I wonder if anyone has succeeded in doing something similar for real.

Animation or not, from what I saw of the first bit, if a ball is thrown it makes all three sounds.
Somewhere there's a Japanese commercial of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major done by a ball falling down a series of wooden blocks, but I can't find it.

This would be an example of spending hours on-line whenever you switch on the computer rather than doing the next task or spending time with your family, would it? :-)

So I guess you are back with DWM's "over the waterfall" deletion (not dismissal) of items after a specified time, am I correct?

Mark: Exactly! (I'm staying out of the kitchen but readily available now while two pre-teen girls cook. A bit of internet distraction is good.)

Hugo,
That's a great video. The song is "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach, not Pachelbel's Canon, so I'm not sure if it's the one Cricket remembers. It's interesting that the tempo varies quite a bit, even though they obviously took a lot of care to keep the slope constant, and built longer pieces of wood for longer notes. So if anyone tries to replicate one of Animusic's concepts in actual hardware, with pipes and balls rolling and bouncing, they would need to take this type of variability into account.

Yes, that's the one. That explains why I couldn't find it.

Haven't been there for a while but what a surprise, a new system!
In fact I have tried most of Mark's systems, some lasted weeks and others months, but never a whole year. I guess they were too compulsive or not efficent enough (this balance is hard to get).
I am eager to try this new 2 to 7 thing, the sooner the better (^o^)/
