Life of Pi Ep.89: Each note draws a rainbow. Then it becomes a slide.
A musical fidget slider plays the theme of Haydn's Surprise Symphony one push at a time, and every note draws one more crayon band of a rainbow over a river, until the loud last chord lands a band on the far bank for a waiting hedgehog. This is an echoPi video. echoPi is an EDC fidget slider and pocketable instrument: its clicks are real physical stops you can set up in the app, and every click can play a note. Turn the sound off and it becomes a quiet fidget for the office. echoPi is in development.

Crayon, like a child's drawing. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of the theme from Haydn's Surprise Symphony, and every note draws one more band of a rainbow over the river. A hedgehog waits for one that reaches the other bank, but the first seven all land in the water.
The last push is the loud chord the symphony is named for: a thick brick-red band lands on the grass. The hedgehog climbs to the top, curls into a ball and slides down to the far side.
Music: Haydn, Symphony No. 94 "Surprise", second movement theme (1791, public domain), own arrangement.
