It's actually part of a two part project called ABSOLUT MACHINES that also includes the ABSOLUT CHOIR in Stockholm, both of which can be controlled by users on absolutmachines.com and is streamed live. They'll also email you the video of your session when you're done.

p.s. ABSOLUT QUARTET is being unveiled on Wednesday Feb 27, so hopefully there should be a better video available then.
