This was my first post on YouTube, and the beginning of my fascination with live-performed, syllable-accurate lyric videos. 

Using freely available code, I built a simple animation tool that advanced one syllable at a time through a text every time the Wii remote was tilted across its axis. In this demonstration, I waggle my way through the virtuosic lyrics penned by singer Kurt Elling to match Dexter Gordon’s solo on the 1964 jazz classic “Tanya”.
