Thank you! I did not know of D'Cuckoo, so thanks for the pointer.

During my research I found a lot of projects that connect body-movement and interactive music which could usually be put in one of these categories: 1. research projects that never left the university 2. art installations or performances - So both were tied to a specific time and place. My goal was to create something mobile, bringing this kind of experience into the home, or wherever.

Right now this is a non-commercial product, like a test balloon. I can imagine to collaborate with musicians and offer their creations as IAP in the future.

About bringing in your own samples etc.: I have started to work on an editor (native Mac app) with which people could create their own interactive compositions. They could then import them into the app and ideally even share them with others. I hope to have a first version out in a couple of months; luckily I got a tiny bit of funding for that project.

Yeah, I have seen a couple of #1 and #2. There is so much potential here. Congrats on bringing out a #3 version.

Godspeed on the editor! I could see joint collabs with musicians and dancers creating an essentially net new art form.

There is a lot of potential here.
