A connected speaker that incites social interaction in mobile music making. A web page enables audience members to use their smartphones to compose synchronised rhythmic loops. The speaker leverages Bayesian information Gain to produce audiovisuals  assigned to specific audience members, thus mediating a playful musical interaction. The installation builds on Coloop, an award-winning connected sequencer designed in collaboration with Nodesign.net.
