Pjotro is the only man with a musical suit that we know of– and watching/listening to him move is really amazing! The suit, which emanates beats and bops with every motion was created from his passion for dancing, music, and engineering. It may seem elementary, but watching the clip from his Finnish TV appearance, Pjotro creates electronic music that challenges that of many artists. On his site you can simulate the process by programming him to move in a variety of fashions including slow, crazy, sharp, smooth, cool, and fast, at different portions in his unique dance cycle. Pjotro's invention is totally innovative and its complexity demonstrates his engineering intelligence (A+ from us), which it seems can only be matched by his killer dance moves!

Actually, Mick Fleetwood of the band Fleetwood Mac had a musical suit. It was a drum suit.

You guys have been had. This thing is just an elaborate Nokia marketing gimmick. Blech. I feel dirty!

it’s weird – I made a wearable interface called the manDrum that I use to do live intereactive electronic music. I’ve been playing shows with it under the name “kataStatik” since the fall of ‘04 when I returned from working on it @ STEIM in Amsterdam. When i first saw the pjotro sight I was kind of shocked. Then, when I stareted watching the videos (like the video of the talent show or of him working on his prototype, or getting his first pair of shoes) I started to feel like they weren’t “real”. They looked like an approximation of something. Then I heard about the Nokia viral marketing thing. Now, I’m just confused about all of this…

to show you what I do (which isn’t as fascinating as what pjotro claims to be doing) here are a couple of pics from a shows. http://defDumbAndBass.com/images/katastatik040705.jpg

and the music associated with them is freely available on my site http://defDumbAndBass.com

thanks
