Music doesn’t always have to be produced in a studio and then issued to a radio station. With the Physical Sequencer, you control the flow of the music with your own dance moves (or just plain movement, but that’s BORING).

The Physical Sequencer is a rather large [motion-sensor interface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roli-piano) that basically has different sounds that react to the way you wiggle (hehe…wiggle).

A special software translates movement (speed, height, etc.) in order to produce a pretty decent [musical composition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamcorder) (check the video!). Quite revolutionary in the industry and maybe, JUST MAYBE this will replace lame Auto-Tune with a new brand of [musical spontaneity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everglow).
