I am interested in how I can use the
current technology to produce music. However, since I am
not a musician, my performance will be an abnormal one.
Having studied martial arts for the past seven years, I
have developed a great love for live martial arts
performances, including competitions, skits, and
demonstrations. A special interest of mine is
choreographing a series of techniques into a kata and
synchronizing it with music. In these performances, I
have taken an already created piece of music and placed
techniques in correspondence to the music. In this
project, I intend to do the opposite. As I perform
techniques, the sensors will detect my
movements, and then the resulting signals will be mapped
to digital music. This will result in a martial arts kata
being synchronized to music, a very similar result to
what I had before.
