The Motus is a high-tech device, created by the smart minds at TZM Creative Lab in Lithuania, that allows you to create sound using motion. This allows you to effectively use a hand-held device to strum an electric guitar, bash a drum kit or caress a grand concert piano.
This device was originally devised as a musical performance tool, before being expanded for integration with dance, in that it can be used by dancers to control sound, lighting and live visuals. Now however, it is being projected as a fun way for people who can't play regular instruments to create music.
TZM Creative Lab's founder Mindaugas Badokas sums up the Motus best, by explaining that when you use it, "the space around you becomes a touchless surface, a canvas you can interact with and explore."
