Play The Road: Volkswagen And Underworld Translate Movement Into Music

posted in: Music News

volkswagen_underworld_imageThis is pretty incredible. Very simply, Volkswagen and Underworld worked together to create an app (unavailable to the average driver for safety reasons, unfortunately) that translates a driver’s behavior into music. The dynamic program reads driving activity and makes musical choices based on that activity.

The driver in this video is not a musician, but his choices and subsequent movements can be expressed in tone, tempo, melody, and harmony. Pretty impressive. And consider the additional (perhaps safer) possibilities for something like this.
