Inspiration: Garageband, it has a keyboard configuration that matches about twelve keys on a piano. I thought why not a few more. Approach: Code each letter on the computer keyboard to play the notes …

7in7 – 4 [Scottish Theme from Union Square]
I was going to grab a coffee between two classes this Thursday when I noticed a young Scot playing the bag pipe. I listened to his enchanting music for a while, chatted with him and recorded a bit of his tune, using it as a theme to build a simplistic – jazz-ish song on top …

7 in 7 Project# 3: Jedi Tennis for Lucasfilms (Gesture Recognition Game)
Goal: A chance to actually use a toy— lightsaber in a more interesting way. Waving it around to hear that wooshing sound and impaling each other with the plastic version isn’t really all that fun. There needs to be an evolution on this particular product even though it’s a novelty item. Inspiration: U.S. Open, Baseball, …
