Life of Pi Ep.90: I played Bach and the mouse chased the light.
A musical fidget slider plays Bach's Prelude in C one push at a time, and every note turns one pane of a window to coloured glass and drops a patch of coloured light on the floor for a mouse to pounce on. 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.

Stained glass. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of Bach's Prelude in C, and each note turns one pane of a clear window into coloured glass, the higher the note, the higher the pane. A patch of the same colour lands on the floor, and a mouse pounces on every yellow one, sure it's cheese.
The last push lights the whole window and the rose window above it. Then a cloud covers the sun, the light goes out, and when it comes back a gold circle settles over the mouse, who curls up and sleeps.
Music: J.S. Bach, Prelude in C major, BWV 846 (1722, public domain), own arrangement.
