We have developed a totally unique method to convert data into music with a tonal structure - in real time!
Through a novel combination of data processing and compositional technique, we have developed a new way to produce interactive music, in which rhythms, harmonies and melodies can be generated and controlled by data paths.
The first commercial product we are developing using this new technology is an entertainment software called “Nagual Dance”, which translates body movement captured by a 3D camera, into music – in real time!
NAGUAL DANCE “assigns” specific sound elements or instruments to certain parts of the body. The user can combine these sounds in endless variations, and what they create from this is totally up to them.
NAGUAL DANCE offers you an entirely new interactive music experience.
YOU ARE THE MUSIC!
Design your custom music using only your own movements, captured in front of a 3D camera.
In NAGUAL DANCE, you are no longer dancing to the music, you are creating the music through your own dance.
- Experience your body as a musical instrument
- A single user can be a composer, DJ, conductor and orchestra all at once.
- Create your individual track
- Explore different genres and music styles by selecting different soundscapes.
- Share the musical elements with friends and dance with them in the two-player mode.
- Save your created tracks and share them with friends.
- Learn impressive core musical skills in a playful and intuitive way.
