Jambo, a rideable instrument

Jambo, the world's first rideable instrument, broadens the future of experimental music, by opening up a genre of producer-skaters who would put on one hell of a live performance. The way it works is that Jambo measures how it’s being ridden through board-embedded IoT sensors, converts those inputs via a microcontroller into MIDI signals, and when connected wirelessly to an audio device, turns dancing into music.
