Forget the clunky, borderline humiliating one-man-bands of old: Check out Tim Soo's rendition of Bruno Mars's "Just The Way You Are" played entirely on an iPhone and Wiimote.
We first encountered Soo at Music Hack Day in New York City, where he took first prize for his "Invisible Instruments," which he demos in the above video.
Soo is currently a student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, but he's also a musician at heart.
"Originally, I built an extremely simple 'invisible violin' in part because I left my violin back at home and needed to perform a short composition for an intro music theory class," he says. "I thought it'd make for an easy grade. The concept, however, took hold."
"The idea spawned largely out of an aversion to the limitations and barriers that exist in music," he adds. "Call it overly idealistic, but I liked the idea of pure freedom in music creation."
Now, it appears as if Soo is hoping to take the concept even further, as he has set up a Kickstarter campaign to make the product a reality.
What do you think of Soo's project? Would any musicians out there jam with an invisible instrument?
