MOONWALKER is a shoe synth that is meant to give the sensation of space and movement. By using the slow-motion ballet of the astronauts a musical composition can be created just from walking, relating music to footwear.

the tech

How does it work?

It uses a teensy board, two pressure sensors, and an accelerometer. Two pressure sensors are attached to the ground surface of the sole, one at the heel and one at the tip of the toes which can generate drum sounds. The accelerometer generates distorted waveforms by 3 axes, X, Y and Z.
