So yesterday we told you about that crazy wearable air guitar, right? Turns out the Aussies copied the Japanese (isn’t that always the case?) version of the same shit from the 1990s. Dubbed “Miburi” and released by Yamaha in the 1990s, this wearable instrument allows for 1980s-style outlandish and synthesized performance. Just check out the video of some chicks and dudes playing a virtual drum kit by moving their body around. Very hot stuff. Same concept, sort of different implementation.

Laurie Anderson did something similar to this in her 1986 “Home Of The Brave” concert series (and film of the same name), in which she wore a dismantled a drum machine with the contact pads attached across her body. “Drum Dance”, I believe the piece was called. Bells on the calves, cymbals on the palms, her wonderfully complex sense of timing and choreography driving the whole thing. Humourous and inspired, as is usual for her.
Someday Warner may even bother releasing this film on DVD…
