via r-echos, some links down the track, we find a company called Feonic who produce products to produce audio from a piece of glass (feonicglass) or other objects (soundbug)
lots of possibilities here… !

The KHRONOS PROJECTOR
[a video time-warping machine with a tangible deformable screen]
by Alvaro Cassinelli,
with the support of Takahito Ito, Monica Bressaglia & Masatoshi Ishikawa.
- nicely interactive, blobby rather than linear, version of Daniel Crooks‘ timeslice technique (which itself is a visual analog of single stream granular synthesis)
very nice!
