"Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music."

Cool stuff.

Oooh, interesting.

The first thing that springs to my mind is "What would happen if you combined this with a chess board?"

Bah humbug

That's nothing, I've got an instrument that sings in response to the temperature outside, combined with the comfort level of the humans inside. I call it "the heat pipes in my house."

No, wait, wait: I've got an instrument that responds to the spiciness of the food I eat and the stress and exercise that I get. I call it "my belly." (Tonight, the kimchee 'evensong')

Humbug.
