For my final project, what I wanna do is to make a public, real-time, interactive music instrument, that people could use their body gestures to make their own music.
The problem I found that is : nowadays, more and more musicians and music producers tend to pay too much attention on the skills and technic part of making music. It seems that you have to have enough skills to make music. They make music just depends on their skills. They might forgot a very important thing of making music—Passion and happiness. Music is not a industry , it’s a part of life.
Why I wanna do this? Because I want to make more and more people interested and participate in making music. In my opinion, music is a happy thing, the process of making music, the interaction with music should be funny and interesting. You don’t need to be professional, making music is not just for musicians or someone professional. I want people to enjoy the process of making music.
So I wanna make this kind of real-time interactive instrument that could let everyone interested in making music and make their own music and real-time live performance by their body gestures. The process should be funny and interesting, to remind people of the passion and fun in making music. You don’t need to know how to play piano, guitar, drum or any kind of instruments. You just need to do some simple body gestures. Maybe we can not use this interactive instrument to make a real song or even a melody, but we can use it to make some sound by ourselves, we can make our own sound and real-time performance. The process should be funny and interesting.
