Life of Pi Ep.80: The ring was in the dryer

Published · 33s

A musical fidget slider plays Mendelssohn's Wedding March one push at a time, matching the ding of a lost ring tumbling in a laundromat dryer so he can find it before the buzzer. 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.

Late night at the laundromat, the ring box is empty and the ring is tumbling in dryer #4, going ding on every turn.

Pi plays the dings into a wedding march, then matches the ding to point the way, and saves his biggest chord for the moment he drops to one knee.

Music: Mendelssohn, Wedding March, Op. 61 (1842, public domain), own arrangement.
