Soon to be the lead instrument in the ToM Marching Band...
The Octopulse shows that noise is music. With this cuddly ‘alien bagpipe’ you can control analogue sound synthesis through unconventional means. The ‘tonetacles’ of the Octopulse react to movement and light, transferring movements into information for an analogue synthesiser to convert into cacophonous noises.
I've tried this with a real octopus, squeezing its tentacles and blubbery head to emit tones of remarkable beauty. Unfortunately, the instrument is sometimes known to squeeze back.
