Now introducing Nagual Dance on IndieGoGo – the innovative musical experience! Ever dreamed of creating music through your dance moves? Nagual Dance is a revolutionary interactive musical experience that gives you the freedom to create music in real time, using just your body. All you need are hands, feet, a Kinect for Windows, a computer and Nagual Dance. Instead of just dancing, you create music through your dance moves!
Nagual Dance is a singular technology that translates body movements into music. We are great fans of musical, dance and rhythm games, like Parappa the Rapper, Dance Dance Revolution, Rock Band and Dance Central. These are countless hours of fun, a true inspiration for us. But being musicians and DJs, we think they leave out an essential element of music: creating. So what if you could create music with natural dancing movements? This challenge made us create Nagual Dance.
Who are we? We are Nagual Sounds. It all started in 2011, when Mark Moebius, a classical composer, and Artur Reimer, civil engineer and techno producer, made music together. Soon the creative process of composing and producing became increasingly important for them, they started looking for ways to share the fun with people. Especially those who are neither composers nor producers, but are still eager to make music.
Using a Kinect camera, Nagual Dance captures the bodily movements of one or two dancers and instantly generates music from every move. It reverses the natural process of dancing, revealing an interesting cycle: you dance and create music, and the music you create makes you dance. Dancers have full control of the musical elements, generating an individual song based on their dancing style and performance. By moving through four fields you discover different harmonies, grooves, instruments and arrangements. With your hands and feet, you deal with drums, percussion, bass, solos, chords. For example, if you move faster, the sound gets more intense. Moving your hands up, you play higher notes. Please take a moment to share our campaign with friends and family to help us reach our goal. Thank you!
