The HandyDandy - Mobile Musicians

The video below shows a group of musicians who only use mobile phones to generate music and collaborate on mobile music projects. Interesting use of the Mobile Phone, and something that initially spawned the direction of my Major project. I will definately not look at creating a peripheral device such as a cut-out of an instrument that would integrate the mobile phone into its construction, nor would I use the Mobile Phone itself as the instrument. My feeling is that the technology inherent in today's Phones would be leveraged to facilitate Global Positioning, Synchronization, and possibly provide visual details associated to the music being played on its own screen. So, essentially, the phone is performing all the necessary background functionality, while the peripheral is making the music. As you can tell by the video, simply using the phone itself can seem rather confining to the user...
