Link of the Day

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring in a Forest

To promote a cell phone (!), a company made this elaborate video where a ball rolls down a wooden track in a forest, playing "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" as it goes:

Incredibly, incredibly cool. The amount of work that went into making this is insane, from the crazy long track and the sequence of pitches on it to the intricate system that gets the tremolo notes. And they got the ball to stop perfectly at the cell phone.
