PKNTS has designed an interesting modular sound toy for kids:

AMK is a modular sound toy designed for preschool children. In combination with a computer, single sounds and sound sets can be transfered to sound blocks, called ‘Klangbausteine.’

Childrend can play independently with each module, or combine the sounds by plugging blocks together.

Only one sound per block, and age-based limited possibilies of sound modification, makes the toy easy to learn and understand.

These look pretty interesting, and look like they are ripe for bending. If you’ve had a chance to check these out, let me know what you think.

something to think about

I want to be able to sell systems for making my music as well as selling pieces of music. In the future, you won’t buy artists’ works; you’ll buy software that makes original pieces of “their” works, or that recreates their way of looking at things. You could buy a Shostakovich box, or you could buy a Brahms box. You might want some Shostakovich slow-movement-like music to be generated. So then you use that box. Or you could buy a Brian Eno box. So then I would need to put in this box a device that represents my taste for choosing pieces. — Brian Eno
