Noisy Jelly is a project made by  Raphaël pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard with Arduino and Max/Msp. The jelly is actually producing some music and there is no sound editing in this video.

“With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar agar powder. After added different color, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board,and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds. Technically, the game board is a capacitive sensor, and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal.”
