Kinect + Dubstep = A Cool New Musical Instrument?

Yes, Kinect is played out. Yes, Dubstep is is the cliched soundtrack for everything we're supposed to think is cool. But when you combine the two, you get something like this, a Kinect-powered full-body instrument called the V Motion Project. It may remind PlayStation 3 gamers of the Move-powered Pixeljunk 4AM. Why not? Body controlled instruments can make interesting music and, more importantly, look damn cool.
