You touch the tabletop and it gets recorded and transformed into music

The Table Recorder by Frederic Gmeiner is a musical instrument in the form of a table. Your tabletop touching moments get recorded and sonified by little bolds beating against everyday objects inside the table. These moments that are being recorded and sonified first fade and then eventually disappear from table’s memory, quieting down completely. In this way your actions on the table are sonified in a subjective way and the everyday objects like table and others that are inside it gain new identity of being musical instrument. Therefore, now the table is not a passive, but an active participant in your daily life activities. Make sure you catch the video after the jump.
