14 DAY TRIAL // Thanks to a new device designed and developed by headphone brand AIAIAI, those who don't have the most seductive singing voice that ever was or awesome guitar skills can now make music using an often ignored part of their body.
Long story short, this innovative high-tech device, whose working principles are detailed in the video below, lets people make music with their derrière. No joke.
Here's how it works: once attached to a person's behind, the device uses special sensors to detect and record the movements that an individual's posterior performs while they are busy twerking. The unique directions and velocities of these movements are then turned into beats.
Headphone brand AIAIAI worked closely with Dutch design and technology company OWOW when creating this rather odd musical device, now known as the Booty Drum.
They also got help from a musician named Branko, from Portugal, and from a professional dancer who goes by the name of Twerk Queen Louise. The end goal of this collaboration was to find a way to make music from body movements.
“We want to see if it’s possible to change the perception of twerking through placing it in a technology-driven, creative context and letting the dance do the talking,” headphone brand AIAIAI explained in a statement.
