Our movement is influenced by the sounds that we hear around us. We are dancing according to the music that we hear. Music always developed by challenging the mainstream, trying to take us towards new experiences, emotionally and physically. I want to try and do that. Create the movement from the sound.

How does it work?

I designed an “instrument” that creates sound from movement. I took gyroscope sensors and put them in two gloves, then with hand movements you can manipulate the sound. I wanted the “instrument” to be mobile, so I added a backpack that contains the microcontroller (teensy) with all of the necessary components and two speakers. Now the "instrument" can be used ANYWHERE.
