For the discriminating musician who considers himself above music-by-worm, there is now a more sanitary and colorful approach available. AudioCubes, created by Bert Schiettecatte, are smart blocks that can emit light and process sound in real-time, based on their relative location to each other. A signal processing network is created and altered by moving the blocks around, allowing a musician to interact with his tunes in a more physical manner. Each cube is programmed and recharged via USB. Bert talks a little bit about expansion possibilities:

| To give the performer even more control over the algorithm running on the DSP, different sensors could be added, such as an orientation sensor, shock sensor, position sensor, etc. |
Right now, they determine output using iR and levels of received light. The project page is an interesting read and includes video and audio samples.
