Balldroppings – Music app

Here’s a quick link for a Saturday afternoon. Like many of the resources I pass on, this one comes via the magic of Twitter. Thanks to Carol Broos (Musictechie) for passing it on.

The site is called Balldroppings. Basically a ball drops from the hole in the top left of the screen. Click and drag with the mouse to draw lines on the screen which act like cushions on a pool table. When the ball hits it, a not will play. Build up several lines to develop a tune (of sorts) You can play with a few variables such as gravity and rate of ball drop too. It’s not too sophisticated, but very neat in its simplicity.
