Lavalamp as MIDI controller...
YouTube via hotchk155
"6 voltage-dividing pairs of light dependent resistors arranged round a standard lavalamp and read by analog inputs of Muduino (arduino clone) to generate semi-random streams of MIDI continuous controller messages
MIDI controllers then mapped to various controls in Propellerheads Reason.. just to see what happens really... Result is rather addictive and hypnotic... turn up the speakers, watch the lamp, turn into a zombie"
Update:
Lavalamp random grooves
"Using same lava lamp to midi CC setup as before, but now mapping to drum pattern changes in Reason.
The sounds are from 2 redrums. a subtractor and maelstrom... putting them in a combinator makes it easy to route the controller signals coming in from the lavalamp. Some interesting mid-pattern switching going on"
Update via hotchk155 in the comments:
"I put some more info about this project at google sites"

Brilliant! Very interesting stuff! I wonder if you get a more dramatic effect using a lamp with clear fluid and a dark lava such as purple or black? Have you considered adding in a motion sensor to the mix? Top notch, looking forward to updates!
