I was sold at flamethrower. Looks pretty slick.

Got an email about donating to this project at work. Apparently if you donate enough money, you can get a flamethrower.

and if you donate even more, you can get your own private run of Dance Dance Immolation or 2pir

What an amazing thing you are building, it's a pity burning man is a continent away or I would come just to see it play!

I had completely forgotten about the "Gaffophone"!

For those of you who don't know "Gaston Lagaffe" is an office dreamer who is part artist, part scientist and came up with this instrument which sounds good only to his ears and cause a lot of damages through the deep vibrations it creates.

Has this ever been tested, and if so why can't this work in other situations?

I have been told (though not by any reliable source) that these kinds of disclaimers are not legal even if they are signed by the user.

You assume all risk for your actions at Burning Man. As it should be in the rest of the society, if it wasn't for our American lawsuit-loving natures, heh.

I'm so looking forward to playing with that.

This is quite possibly the most awesome piece of art I've seen all year.

Where's the "musical" part? Is this a pyrophone?

It features three grid sequencers that participants interact with to create music based on Ableton Live sets submitted by artists.
