[edit] About the hack

This music hack is a follow up of SoundscapeDJ, presented at the Hack Camp (Music Tech Fest, London 2012). In this occasion we built a tiny homemade turntable using a DCmotor. The motor is controlled via Sense board, which allows to map any sensors to the rotation speed. You can use Reactivision fiducials as "records", in this case, sounds from Freesound.org. The rotation rates of the fiducials affects the audio rate of the recordings.
