Life of Pi Ep.78: He thought his pen could sing
A musical fidget slider plays Beethoven's Fur Elise one push at a time, timed to a coworker's pen clicks, so he believes his pen is the one singing. 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.

Every time my coworker clicks his pen, I push once and play the next note of Fur Elise.
He never looks at Pi. Now he is sure the pen sings, so he clicks more than ever, and Pi saves the biggest note for the spring.
Music: Beethoven, Für Elise (1810, public domain), own arrangement.
