Has anyone seen this?

http://www.g-turns.com/ is the website.

http://g-turns.com/pages/en/products...ndex.g_pod.htm is the page in question.

Basically, you spend €5 or so to enter two global co-ordinates and a satellite will 'scratch' the earth's surface for you, turning it into music.

The gPod is a topographical marvel. I don't know if it still works as an iPod, but it lets you play the planet. It's about €1000 or so, I think.

I want one.

Turning it into music? what constitutes music?

Hassan i Sabbah · 2007-03-20, 15:16

I don't know.

Who cares?

Cool.

Well, I can tell you that I'm definitely not "instereted."

Schnauzer · 2007-03-20, 22:12

wait what?.... how does it make music?

alrighty then

Well, seeing as this doesn't follow any patterns, has no definite pitches, and has repeating rhythms, I would not classify it as music. I'd much rather listen to actual Earth sounds, like the wind or ocean, rather than "listening" to the Earth's shape.
