Drawdio Turns Everything into Music

April 19th, 2010 Gadget Freak

drawdioWhat if you could turn anything you touch, into music. With a little gizmo, called Drawdio, now you can, sort of.

Invented using a hacksawed “harmonium” kit, the Drawdio is one of those wonderful gadgets that no one really needs, but everybody loves. Basically, using this ingenious device, you can turn anything and anyone into an 8-bit musical instrument.

While Drawdio works with anything, its inventor thinks it best suits a graphite pencil. This combo allows anyone to draw a line, a circle, or even a musical instrument, and then play it using their fingers. The best thing about Drawdio is that it’s for sale, at just $17.55. Now this is worth at least that, for the chance to literally play someone like a fiddle.

clay-speakers

Mapaguaquen translates as “sound of the earth” and the names suits these speakers perfectly, considering they are nothing more than clay pots.

These original clay speakers are the work of Chilean designer Pablo Ocqueteau, who devised them as a way of showing that centuries old traditions can fulfill the needs of modern society. You’re probably wondering if clay pots could produce powerful sounds without cracking and braking into pieces, but it seems possible if they are stoneware.
