Yup. You read right. Next year I will be leaving on an around the world motorcycle trip and I want to turn my bike into a musical instrument. Here's the idea - each time I hit the front or rear brake, clutch, shift gears, throttle up or down, and using my speed as BPM - I want to generate midi, and send it to my computer. At the end of the day, edit this info. I will be using FL Studio to compose music on the road, and perform as I go - and I want to use this to create original music for the videos that I'll be creating.
A unique idea.
How? What kind of triggers can I use? How can I make them waterproof? How can I turn my speedometer into midi, odometer, GPS info - anything into midi?
Every day will be unique as you never ride the same way.
Any ideas - really appreciated. Just getting started on this idea....any cool ideas accepted. I have even been considering using a MS Kinect to capture motion and thurn that into midi.....
So, seeking creative minds who think outside the box.
