Toast And Jam, Anders Højmose, Jennifer Kay, Mary Huang and David Sjunnesson

The revamped toaster plays a selection of music depending on the bread you put in to “toast”, because it doesn’t work as a toaster anymore. 125 songs covered 5 genres: Reggae, Country, Rock, Electro and Latin within 5 categories of moods: party, melancholy, obscure, chill out and feel good. Simple but effective “bread detection” is achieved by using white LEDs and photo-resistors to measure the darkness of the bread. Additional LEDs are included to retain the familiar orange glow of the toasting cycle.
