Sound Gyro
Music has a lot to do with mathematics. With the help of this exhibit, you can experience this for yourself — alone or in a group of three or four, with your friends:
The coloured floor squares correspond to the seven steps of a musical scale. Along the spiral of the floor keys you can play rising or falling melody bars. Of the twelve notes regularly distributed around the cylinder, seven are always in the light and thus selected for playing.
The exhibit is based on ideas by Eytan Agmon, John Clough, Jack Douthett and Thomas Noll.
