Engineers! I need your help figuring out how to teach my octopus piano. This video I show all the attempts and piano designs I have created for Takoyaki. Let me know in the video what I should try to finish this video!

Teaching an octopus piano

Teaching an octopus piano Mattias Krantz Short · 2 months ago

I'm a bit stuck teaching my octopus, Takoyaki, how to play piano. But this is what he can do so far. I think I’ll reduce the number of keys and make it a bit more playable for the next version of the piano. I've tried all kinds of tricks—keys with LED lights inside (he hated those), keys that move, even keys with a fake crab inside. But it seems like he likes this piano the most: a piano with levers that wiggle.
I've been trying to teach him Under the sea. But it's tricky, because in the middle of songs

I’m currently teaching my octopus how to play piano. His name is Takoyaki and he is the type of octopus you can buy at any grocery store or fishmarket. I can’t believe we eat these guys, when they could be our private pianist instead!

After months of prototyping with him. I finally found a piano design that he can use and practicing on.

I'm really into the idea of teaching an octopus to play the piano. But I wonder—does anyone here have real-life experience with octopuses? Right now all I know they are really smart and has 8 hella nice legs.

I’d like to find someone I can work with to figure out how to teach it, how to design the piano, and a lot more before committing too deeply. Maybe you have contacts with researchers who could be of help.

You can DM me on Discord or talk in engineers-only chat to discuss the idea with other cra

Just curious what animal would you rather want to see learning piano?Mattias Krantz Post · 7 months ago

So the muting people in real life gun is quite an interesting concept. My first plan was to use phase inversion—basically, listen to the sound wave of the person, then invert it and cancel it out. This works amazingly in audio recording software, but if there is even a 1 millisecond delay between the original audio and the inverted one, it has no effect at all. Also, trying to do this in an outdoor environment using a speaker adds even more issues like audio reflections, etc. But if it were this easy, obv

I recall asking a year ago what everyone thought about the "shorts" format, and everyone hated it . what do you think about it now?Mattias Krantz Post · 8 months ago

Related to the "I 3d printed a $1,000,000 piano (pls don’t sue me)" idea, what type of piano design would be the most interesting to recreate in my garage using just 3d printing and glue for 1/1000 of the price? I noticed the muting people in real life idea is more popular so I will see which one seems most fun as a video.Mattias Krantz Post · 8 months ago
