Did it ever come across your mind of how music works or specifically, how musical instruments produce sound and connect together to create music? If you're curious of how it works, Petrosains is the perfect place to discover this innovative phenomenon.
This is some of what you'll experience.
Lemur's multi touch technology makes it possible to touch the interface on the screen and start playing.
Check out this never ending piano which has huge keyboards, introduced by Roger Shepard in 1964.
This exhibit gives you a chance to explore music tunes from phonograph, gramophone, turntable and CD.
Aspiring disc jockeys can attempt their first spin by scratching back and forth across the turntable by following the tutorial and notice how the sound changes.
You can even make your own rhythms, by simply pressing the buttons and see how well you did.
There's another awesome invention where you could listen to many genres of music from all over the world by putting on the earphones and plugging the device on the white dots.
The giant panpipes is also one of the big attractions. This amazing exhibit explains as you create your own masterpiece by hitting the ends of giant pan pipes with rubber paddles.
My little princess can't resist running her fingers along the sensors. This stringless magical harp can produce harmonic sounds of piano, flute, saxophone, guitar, etc. Sounds cool, right? The exhibition had been travelling around the world for the past couple of years and has finally arrived at Petrosains, Suria KLCC. The Science of Music runs until the end of March.
There's even a chance to win some fabulous prizes too. All you need to do is visit the Muzika exhibition at Petrosains and answer 5 online quiz questions to participate in the contest. Who knows, you might stand a chance to win some PlayStation 3(PS3), Nintendo Wi or iPod Touch!

I listen to music everyday - all genres. I wouldn't ever want to be without it.
Isn't David Cook wonderful!
Great info here. Have a good week.
What a cool exhibition!
Hi Life Ramblings, I too love music.
When time to settled down I looked for a wife who can play the piano.
Found one, but can't cook.
Then found another one, can cook cannot play piano.
But sings like a canary, so took her. No regrets.
I must check out what you posted here. Looks interesting.
I love that harp pic.
Oh ya, here practically every Chinese girl plays the piano or musical instrument....boys too.
And every year Kiwanis music festival, Chinese kids as young as 7 sapu the top prizes for playing piano, etc.
Wish I can. Have a nice day, Lee.
Very nice!
Road Trip
The never-ending piano literally plays on and on?
This exhibiton is a good intro to the world of music for young children.

Wow! You have an iPod? So in? I don't have one. I feel so old now.
Never ending piano? Now that's weird alright. :p I have never heard of never ending piano before.
War...I also wanna try to spin the turntable. Looks fun. Perhaps that's the only place where I can touch that device? :p
Wow....now that's a very special way of listening to music. Plug it into different white dots. Whose brilliant idea is this?
Goodness. I thing I should go to Petrosains one day. :p
Stringless harp? Wow...another cool idea. Your little princess is so cute. :)
Hopefully when I go there one day the exhibition is still intact.
Thanks for sharing LR. Have a nice day.
Mei Teng,
the melody appears to rise or descend endlessly in pitch. that's why it's called the never-ending piano.
Mariuca,
yup, i've been following the AI auditions closely. how could i miss that? it often makes me want to laugh in exasperation. :D
How cool!
Maybe can drop by KLCC and go to Petrosains one of these days to see the exhibition.

I love music but I cannot play any musical instruments nor singing.
That's why I have my sons learning piano.
