According to the information on the <a href="http://brightarcs.com/">supplier's website</a> it can be driven directly by audio or as a MIDI instrument. The tune is being played by the arcs themselves; by switching them at the appropriate frequency the corresponding musical note is produced. Awesome :-) </p> <p> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b4CHL86K8qA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> </p> <p> Chris at work pointed me at this one as well.
