Life of Pi Ep.84: Keep playing or the cat gets the fish.
A musical fidget slider plays Mozart's Sonata Facile K. 545 one push at a time; while the music plays the koi stays deep, and the moment it stops the fish rises to the surface, right under the waiting cat. 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.

Ink-wash style. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of Mozart's Sonata Facile, and as long as the notes keep coming, the koi stays down in the pond, flicking its tail.
Go quiet, even for the single click at the end of the track, and it rises for food, right under the cat. The highest note makes it leap clear of the water.
