Breakdancing / Jazz / Capoeira

Common Thread: Group creates mood while one person improvises.

How can we build on these ideas?

Build in the collaborative. Change in sound production or effect as dancers move in unison. Change in sound based on proximity.

Introducing Free Running

What if you could actually produce your own music as a group or an individual in a mobile setting? As a free runner? As a street performer? And save the music as a unique DNA of your run... of your experience?

Next Steps

Learn how a DJ produces music. What tools does he use?

Make some simple sounds with Arduino.

Look over any open source music producing code available online.

Onward and Upward.
