It was a great piece and it got me thinking to create an interactive James Brown polyester suit with built-in beat. Basically you could add little pockets/sew into seams of the elbows, lapels, tails, etc. tiny motion activated sound-generators which, when you started to dance, would turn on and throw off some beats and depending how you moved, would make a super funk-inspired music piece. I think that would be awesome.
