Life of Pi Ep.87: Moonlight Sonata at 2 a.m. The building woke up.
A musical fidget slider plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata one push at a time at 2 a.m., and every note lights a window on the floor that matches its pitch, until the last push lights all fifteen and the cloud slides off the moon. 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.

Pastel on black card. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of the Moonlight Sonata, and each note wakes a neighbor: a window lights up on the floor that matches the pitch. Stop playing and the windows go dark again, one by one.
The last push lights all fifteen windows at once, and the cloud slides off the moon.
Music: Beethoven, Piano Sonata No. 14, "Moonlight", first movement (1801, public domain), own arrangement.
