Tracks on Train Tracks
Oh my goodness this is cute. The design you’re about to experience is called “Original Sound Track” and it’s basically a sound box flipped inside out and turned into a train on tracks. Set up your tracks, which have pins in them in just the right places, wind up your train car and set it on the tracks, and wowie! You’ve got your own little sound compilation! Made for kids, but who am I to say you adult figures can’t have one for yourself.
When this train makes it to production, it will come with 10 pieces of track which can be arranged in any number of different ways, allowing for the kid who runs it to make lots of different fresh songs! Then, just like any good modern toy, this train has song tracks you can buy separately. I’ll be in line the day they release the Chemical Brothers tracks! Or the Kraftwerk tracks – how awesome would that be?
This toy is basically GOING to inspire creativity and growth in cognitive ability in any child that uses it. Arranging music is intense – this is by far the simplest way to get a child excited about creating real amazing songs. Who DOESNT want their kid to become a composer!?
Educational toys hooray!
P.S. I am super excited that the music that’s used for the example in the video below is “Coin Operated Boy” as arranged by the designer Ricardo Seola. The original version of course being done by the awesome Dresden Dolls. Fabulous interpretation!

If you really wanted to inspire creativity, the pegs would be moveable so children could make their own songs, not just move sections of someone else’s creation.

Yeah, but that’s a choking hazard. I hope the designer had that in mind…
I think this is a great idea. If they had this when I was a kid, I would have gone nuts for this thing!

Super cool idea. But, the metal tines all look to be the same length. Doesn’t that mean they would then play the same note?
Ami says
my thoughts exaactly… the metal lines should be different lengths to play different pitches…

A cool toy indeed,
if they should preset some songs in those tracks, that’ll be good.
