All smiles here!

We'll be building a parametric model of a pianists shoulders, elbows,
cuffs, fingers - all filled with natural physical properties through
ODE, stimulated by forces coming through OSC from Common Music, and
triggering OSC-messages when the fingernails hit some object, pipe it
to whatever making sound or notation, and listen to what happens while
gravity slowly cycles 360 degrees and underarms grow longer until they
reach 2.5 meters.

Ill leave the smokerings to the audience though...
