drawdio is a DIY music project by designer jay silver that let's users draw the instrument of their choice
on a piece of paper and play it with their finger. the drawdio can actually be used with a variety of objects
to make music. silver has kits available to build a standard drawdio, but users are encouraged to remix
the design and create their own version. the concept uses the same drawdio circuit in all incarnations.
when used with a pencil, the graphite acts as a circuit on the paper, transmitting the electric signal across
the drawing to produce a different sound based on the specific form.
