Chin Music is a series using a chin interface to trigger midi music notes or computer speech when I chew food, do chin ups, or use my chin in new and absurd ways. The activity I am performing or the food I am chewing to trigger the chin interface is thematically paired with the music or computer speech to program myself to achieve a desired result.

Chin up bar with buttercup chin interface. The space bar on the keyboard in the adapted window planter is triggered by my chin, causing the computer to speak a syllable of the question "Do You Like Butter?" If I get to 5 chin ups, the computer will tell me "No, You Don't Like Butter." If I can't get to five chin ups, the computer will tell me "Yes, You Like Butter." Based on the children's game of holding a buttercup under the chin and looking for a yellow reflection to see if their friend likes butter. I put the buttercups on the chin up bar and let my body weight help answer the question.
