Listen what these eleven 16- to 19-year-old boys did under the guidance of Jamaican-born percussionist Montegro Joe.

The Vinyl Workout designed by Theo Watson is an interactive project that transforms your floor into a digital record player.
A giant record is projected on the floor and it can be played by running around its surface in the direction you want it to go. If you run slow the record plays slow, if you run fast the record goes fast and plays backwards or rewinds when you start moving on the opposite direction. Next version will have scratch mode.
The Vinyl Workout creates a playful environment, as you can create picture variations of a treadmill at your personal fitness center.
