About this app

What music brings to your ears, Sisyphus brings to your eyes. Kinetic art, technology, and design merged in stunning meditative beauty.

In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was condemned to roll a boulder up a mountain for all eternity. In our art, Sisyphus is a kinetic sculpture that rolls a ball through sand, forever creating and erasing beautiful patterns. Sisyphus is a kinetic art piece: it is an instrument. As a musical instrument plays songs, Sisyphus plays paths.

With the Sisyphus App, you can download new tracks from artists all over the world, create your own favorite playlists, and control your Sisyphus table from your iPhone.

Ratings and reviews

Apps user interface is not too good and the drawing function is just straight up frustrating to use, doesnt work very well and is glitchy at times. Unfortunate, because this product is very expensive. I feel like they didn't spend much time or effort in the software. Also I want more tracks but there is a limited amount of ones they upload. Not too many new ones

Table is great. Software could use a few things to make it better. In the android app it is difficult to rearrange the track order in a playlist. Much easier on a computer with the web interface. Up down arrows would be better than click and drag. I think it is important that community tracks be marked if they work with the newer 2 ball versions of the table. Some tracks will hit the park spot for the balls and get messed up badly.

Worked fine in the US, but not in Germany. Have had the table since the original Kickstarter campaign. Updated the firmware (thanks Sisyphus support) before leaving the US, and everything worked fine. Now my phone detects the table, but says it can't obtain IP address, so the app no longer works at all. Luckily, the table can run on its own, without using the app. But it's nice to control the settings, and turn it off without unplugging, which I can no longer do.
