Pjotro - The man with the musical suit: September 2007
Another fan mail
Mr David Brown from London has written to me. Mr Brown writes “Congratulations on such a successful piece of work” and added some questions:
1. Have you considered putting dancers from other music genres into your suit? - My suit is made for me and me only. Even though I could create different sounds to make for other genres, I would not like to have any other person in my suit with me.
2. Have you tried to map real-world instrument sounds to your suit? - The sounds that I make are from the real world. What do you mean?
3. Do the moves come about because you like a sound that's made, or do you like a sound then map it to a gesture? - I like music, and I like to dance. I would like to think that I create my moves and music in both ways. Sometimes the music makes the move, and sometimes the move makes the music.
Thank you David Brown for writing to me, and good luck with your projects! /Pjotro.
This summer I have also been on vacation. I went to the beach. The weather was hot and the water was warm. I decided to go without my suit. I did not think that swimming in the suit was very good idea, because water and electronics do not mix. I devised a pair of swimming-shorts from some left over material from my suit production. I met a man who loved my swim-shorts so much that I have given them to him. He was so happy, he even sent me a picture of himself wearing them. Hot, yes?
