Absolut Machines: Online Quarter and Choir
The Absolut Machines Project is probably the most original things that I have came across lately in the Internet. It is a collaboration between ABSOLUT VODKA, and graduates from the MIT (Dan Paluska, Jeff Lieberman) and the Swedish Studio Teenage Engineering. This project consists of two parts, the Absolut Quarter and the Absolut Choir, and online visitors have the power to control both through Internet! The machines and also the way they work is a privilege that only New Yorkers have at the moment
Absolut Choir
The Absolut Choir is an online choir composed of 22 different robotic members that received as an input words and phrases from you and uses them as an inspiration to play music. when I tried it for my self I started seeing the choir singing through live webcam and I thought that no matter what I write it will not influence the end product. When I wrote Weberence I heard “We la la la o la la be la la o la re la la la o o o la nce la la la” and I was left speechless

Absolut Quarter
The Absolut Quarter is a music producing engine that combines art with technology in order to create something similar to a human Quarter. The online visitor becomes the fourth member where as the other 3 are robotic. You merely play the piano and the 3 robotic instruments play something inspired from your creation.
