The graphics are great! Not sure about the floating notes. What about making the strings move instead?

Thanks Odin. I wasn't sure about the floating notes myself but anything else I considered was too complicated.

the flashing lights look very nice !

at first i thought the drum is a lampshade

where does the air for the flutes/pipes come from ?

Well it's a very pretty lampshade.

Invisible people blow the whistles.

another noisy invention from erisian . why don't we have any dancing smilies, we sure need them!
i think i understand what you mean about the drum, but to me it looks delightful. there's a certain kind of surface treatment to metal that gives a kind of half matte moiré look and i've always loved that - prefer it to smooth high gloss any day - and the drum looks just like that.
the title reminds me of a scene from the monty python movie Erik the Viking though: the music machine from hy brasil

Thanks AnMal. That's one Monty Python movie I never saw.

I managed to change the original image for an APNG.
