Lady Gaga - Poker Face by Applegirl (ver. I-Phone Apps)



I was first fascinated by how quick and easy it was for her to create background music using four iPhones. With the help of different applications, she had full control of beats and short music phrases that allowed her to make music that was polished and presentable- and also, GAGA. The iPhones simulated a piano and the drums. It also functioned as a mike that distorted and digitized the voice. Both touch and voice sensors were incorporated in the activity, and the user seemed comfortable with the setup that acted as a metaphor for a complete band.

The TUI project for my team will focus around creating a wearable device that will enable the user to make and manipulate music. We aim to create a TUI that is intuitive and easy to use and also that incorporates the entire body as an instrument, not just the tips of your finger. This video was a great inspiration for me and convinced me that an application that is even more aligned with your physical behaviors will create more room for musical creativity and freedom.
