Performance artist Lena Wicke-Aengenheyster aka Monsterfrau has been focussing on body and movement as a choreographic musical instrument for several years. The development of her analogous sound costume involving countless faders and spin controls all over her body was awarded a prize at the 2013 donaufestival. 2014 then saw her development of a digital costume which enabled her to play software instruments through movement with the aid of motion sensors on the body. *[www.staatsaffaire.com](http://www.staatsaffaire.com/)*
