so i got a request from an artist friend..
he wanted to use a couple of hometrainers to play audio. (more specifically the Bird Dance or the Chicken dance or whatever it's called in english. yeah, i know. long story.)
the idea was: the faster you pedal, the faster the music plays. it'd be nice to be able to 'scratch' with it, and pedaling backwards would have to play the music backwards.
one machine would do the drums, the other would do the melodic info, so you can try to play together.
here's what the (intermediate) results sounded like:

i may have ended up tweaking the response a little, but that's the general idea.
here's the actual installation in a gallery in Cologne:

you can go and ride the bikes until october 1st, so you'd have to be quick.
