Published · 33s

A musical fidget slider plays Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik one push at a time, turning every 1 AM snack-bag crinkle into the same five notes until Pi knows the tune before the hand does. 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.

1 AM. Every time a sleeve reaches into the snack bag, its crinkle becomes the same five notes from Pi's lid.

A clip on the bag, the bag in the drawer, then out again. When the hand finally creeps toward one loose chip without a sound, Pi plays its theme first.

Music: Mozart, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525 (1787, public domain), own arrangement.
