Three
steel balls fall through an array of pins to produce a random
melody. The pin array emulates a Gaussian distribution demonstration
where numerous balls are fed at the top of a triangular array
of pins, then bounce through the pins to become distributed
along the bottom with a Gaussian profile. This distribution
is not obvious with just three balls, however the pins are
set in at different depths which in conjunction with the erratic
path of the balls produce a random melody. The array and sound
box are mounted on a pivot to move the balls back to the top
of the array.
