Poietic Studio has created a unique iPhone app and musical instrument that lets you conduct a virtual floating orchestra. The instrument has 19 small spheres that float on a puff of air above individual interconnected cups. Each sphere is matched to a different instrument and will rise and fall in response to volume. Just like a conductor controlling a real orchestra, users can control each instrument and its volume via an iPhone app. The first iteration of this app-device combo uses controls on the iPhone screen, while the next version will use motion control. The Floating Orchestra was recently on display at Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Corn Exchange and Pavilion Theatre in England.
