Artist, VJ and experimental DJ Daito Manabe, famous for crazy setups, including using a Wiimote to drop beats, has kicked it up a notch, literally. As part of the new Japanese Nike Free Run campaign, DJ Daito and friends have outfitted these sneakers with flex sensors, which allow for variable resistance when bent and hence producing some crazy beats and effects. Using Max/MSP and Ableton Max for Live, DJ Daito & co are able to produce an amazing sequence of music, the envy of turntablists everywhere. Personally, I’m waiting for some local DJs to do this with some BM-2000s!
