Pianococktail Part 1


From Boris Vian's "L'ecume des jours (Foam of the Daze) comes the invention the Pianococktail. The art of it is that when you play the keyboard or piano a cocktail gets made. It warms my heart that someone actually made the damn instrument. This is what I call powerful music.

wow, I love it! does it only make one kind of cocktail, or can you set it for all sorts? and they seemed like they were playing real songs - does it know, or can you just bang on it? that is one supercool steampunky device!

in theory each melody or song can make a different cocktail. Does it work? I believe it does.
