For us, music is little more than something that plays in the background during the massacre of endless enemies. It is a trumpet's call, heralding our arrival in a virtual world where we call the shots. Outside of those worlds resides the music of man, which we cannot attest you knowing that much about.

When you use an entire, custom-made outfit (which proudly sports eight Wiimotes) and your body to create and manipulate music in real time, however, then you deserve the lowly props that come from being featured on a video game blog read by a record seven mothers. They've seen this video and agreed: people need to watch this brilliant use of technology in action. So listen to them and hit up the above video already.

That's... music?

just like any moron with 40 paintbrushes taped to their body can make "art"

just being "music" or "art" doesn't make something "good"

I'd give him an "E" for "Effort" - that said, this is really just some idiot who realized he could use the bluetooth Wiimotes as MIDI controllers, and control a random crappy synthesizer with absolutely no regard to "Purpose" or "Intentional Results" - he might as well have taped the Wiimotes to his dog.

Not my style, but ingeniously wonderful. :)

This is totally awesome, but too expensive for me too get to try out, also, on a PC without integrated bluetooth, would I have to get multiple bluetooth dongles, or is one dongle capable of receiving and distinguishing multiple inputs at the same time?
