Body Heatâ„¢ will appear exclusively at the Arse Elektronika Festival for Sex and Technology in San Francisco on October 1, 2010, at the Center for Sex and Culture.  To introduce the software, designer Heather Kelley has teamed up with San Francisco-based chip music mainstay Jordan Gray, aka Starpause.   “During our performance, the signals that the application generates will feed into synths, samples, and effects in a live remix of Starpause tracks.†Kelley explains.  “Plus, a vibrator driven by Body Heat will add percussion sounds.â€Â Gray adds, “I’m a user experience nerd and this app is the most intuitive interface I’ve seen for making a vibrator wiggle however you want. Combining my music with Body Heat has been a treat — the next best thing to exciting a lover is making some synths squeal!â€
