From a spare slice of cardboard, a webcam and a bag of Skittles (original), Kyle McDonald built himself a working beat sequencer, in which each placed Skittle becomes another hard-hitting (but edible) beat. Unfortunately, the colors don’t serve any function yet, but I look forward to when Kyle figures out how to both taste and hear the rainbow.
