Stanley The Piano: It Plays When You Tweet!

Have you met Stanley yet? Stanley is the world’s first player piano that takes requests via Twitter! Stanley used to be an old fashioned player piano, but has been upgraded with electronics and software to play your favourite songs.

Stanley just had its first live performance at the Festival Block Party in Seattle, where its library included songs from all the artists who will be attending the event.

The design agency Digital Kitchen came up with this piano, which is inside a computer connected to your Twitter account and has a good amount of music stored in MIDI format. The computer inside checks incoming messages to @stanleypiano (also reviews hashtags), and if the song requested is in its database, adds to the list of songs to play.

Here’s Stanley’s blueprint (click on the image for a larger view):

Stanley was created to “honor the independent maker spirit of the Capitol Hill neighborhood and provide a window into the talented musicians playing at the Block Party. It was a mashup of trying to create a physical and digital creation,” David Mikula, Digital Kitchen’s Creative Director, told ABC News.

The video below shows roughly how Stanley works:

Although Stanley doesn’t know every song in the world, I really love the concept because of its simplicity and how to connectweb interaction to real life events. What’s your opinion? Are you inspired? You can check out Stanley here.
