I particularly enjoyed Seb's "milk crate" music. I really enjoyed much of the music and I think that it's a really interesting idea to try to "force" much music out of a short amount of time. A fantastic way to avoid procrastinating and spending time making decisions when it is possibly more productive to experiment and plan/think as little as possible (something I'm poor at). The results of milk crate support the value of this fast working style.
The water-based controller was also very very cool and obviously not a fully exploited concept yet, but I can understand why with the amount of zany stuff Seb is up to.
The second presentation was more chilled with some discussion of the relationship of music to science and history. Loved the quartz bowls, and also loved the theories about ancient constructions. Just been reading up on ancient greek musical philosophy for history and the importance ancient civilizations placed on music is really interesting. I'm beginning to think that there's not much difference between coincidence and real conspiracy anyway with regards to the wide use of the A# "natural" frequency.
