Drips is a set of homemade burettes connected to a JoyLabz Makey Makey and a Novation Launchpad.

Everytime one of the burettes expel a droplet of water, it triggers a sound using MIDI. This allows for the loose rhythms of falling water to be superimposed on digital instruments - freeing the sounds from the shackles of the virtual grid.
