Further Wii Remotes with Max MSP

From continuing to research through online webpages, I came across this video which has been taken from YouTube:


Uploaded by Boymakesmusic, the video above illustrates the extreme possibilities of using the technology from a Wiimote along with Max MSP. As a part of a school project, "Boymakesmusic" developed several patches that were created using the software Max which was controlled by a Wii Remote in order to generate both IDM style beats and pre-made loops. As a result of this, the video shows how a composition can be gradually created through a range of patches that have been created and controlled by the Wii Remote control. Inevitably after watching this; I felt that this video shows the possible use of creating a patch that generates loops through particular hand or wrist movements by the user which in turn creates a unique performance.
Nevertheless, from this; I feel that it could be worthwhile to develop and create a patch based on a number of loops which would be triggered by the Wii Remote. These loops could be triggered when the ball (containing the remote control) would be struck by a tennis bat; however, I feel that further research and class discussions will allow myself to develop a working patch.
