Body Voice is a wearable instrument driven by technology that allows dancers to create music through their dance moves. Music and dance are two art forms, but dance often follows the rhythm of the music. The dancer's creation is based on others, musicians' work. This design subverts the conventional relationship between music and dance, redefines the possibility of free creations by analyzing dance's movement by converting it into music.
