Musical Objects for a Visual Enterteinment Time

Every MOVET has been developed specifically for an event, an exhibition or a music album, so in some cases we recommend you to play a song, even though the most funny thing is to see how they react to different types of
music and to the voice. To watch a video preview of a MOVET, click on its image.

To view the MOVETs it is necessary a sound source in your computer; you can play music in a music player or connecting a microphone. In order that they work correctly, please read the technical specifications detailed later.
