LEMUR Slime-o-Tron II: For Those Of You Seeking More Ways To Control Music With Slime
There's a new kind of Slime-o-Tron out as if Slime-o-Trons breed like amoeba. The Slime-o-Tron II is more of an upright Slime-o-Tron where the conductive slime starts at the top and seeps down the MIDI board. Unlike its more innocent predecessor, the Slime-o-Tron II will send you into a schizophrenic dementia.
Only watch this video if you are not frightened of multiple robotic voices telling you to do things.

ERIC SINGER: So, from the Slime-O-Tron, we go to another model, SLIME-O-TRON II
GRETCHEN HASSE: This is the newest version?
ERIC SINGER: Yes. This is a new version of -- a new kind of Slime-O-Tron called the Slime-O-Tron II Pachinko Version. And in this-- This is more of an installation. I think of it more of as an installation piece where you can just put slime to the top and let the slime flow down, and as it crosses and connects various of the nails, it makes these connections, it sends MIDI signals back to the computer which then turns it into whatever kind of sound you want, and the kind of sound that I wanted is -- Oh, that Slime-O-Tron is playing itself right now. What I programmed this one to do is to read random texts -- Well, not random. I selected them randomly - texts from various places like song lyrics and scripts from plays and political speeches and have the variety of Mac computer voices play them back as the nails get touched by the slime, so I'm going to fire that one up now.
GRETCHEN HASSE: That is amazing.

ERIC SINGER: And one thing that's nice is that only about half of the voices sound like Stephen Hawking.
