Quite a few blogs have been posting the concept Original Sound Track from Ricardo Seola recently (shown above). Watch video. A wooden toy train moves across a track, with its front teeth plinking across pegs on the track, inspired by a music box. You can then tack the track and build different layouts to alter the order of musical sequences.
The concepts reminds me of a combination of…
Sound Chaser, from Yuri Suzuki : watch video (vehicle drives around re-configurable vinyl to play audio).
And …
MUSIK LOK (1972)
“The little train has a small 8 note keyboard on the bottom. As it drives along the track, the coloured switches push the keys, so you get your own programmed melody. In other words, this is an analog step sequencer for 3-year old children”
