Life of Pi Ep.82: I played Carmen. The bull charged.
A musical fidget slider plays Bizet's Carmen Prelude one push at a time, and every note moves a clay bull: repeated notes scrape the hoof, falling notes lower the horns, and the top note sends it charging. 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.

Clay stop-motion. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of Bizet's Carmen Prelude, and every note winds up a small clay bull: the repeated notes scrape its hoof, the falling ones lower its horns.
Then comes the highest note. The bull charges straight past Pi, for the strawberry sitting behind him.
Music: Bizet, Carmen, Prelude (1875, public domain), own arrangement.
