Singing Fingers iPad app

Such lovely, simple, and playful interaction design from MIT Media Lab’s Lifelong Kindergarten. Scales well to users of all ages and works a nice example of an activity that is fun for solo or collaborative play/ performance:

'Just like record players and tape recorders were simple and powerful new ways to work with sounds, Singing Fingers simply gives you a blank page. To manipulate sounds you only need your fingers to smear them onto the page and to play them back. No complex buttons, menus, or rules. In fact, to record, play back, and remix sounds there are zero buttons or menus (the buttons are only for file manipulation: saving, loading, and getting a new one). One simple medium, one simple touch of the finger, millions of possibilities.'
