It’s an amazing and unique musical instrument which uses motion sensors and switches to translate body movements into music and sound. You don’t have to wear special gloves, operate a controller, or wave a wand or bat in the air. Simply move in a way that is comfortable for you and the machine will do the rest. As you learn how different movement qualities can shape and control the virtual orchestras, rock groups, jazz bands, circuses, rainforests and haunted houses at your fingertips, you can create musical pieces and soundscapes of ever increasing sophistication and subtlety. The gap between musical imagination “I wish I could play that” and reality “I can play that” suddenly got a lot smaller.
