  • beatbox bellydancing dual by Process & friends
  • freestyle rap & beatbox by Dublin, Infinate & Soulati
  • beatbox breakdancing (on a light-up floor, no less!) by Candace Love's B-Girls & the Vowel Movment
  • beatbox live looping by Kid Beyond
  • scratch guitar by The Genie
  • beatbox flute by Tim Barsky
  • 3 camera crews (6 cameras) shooting Digital Video for The Vowel Movement Beatboxumentary project (and the promotional use of the participants!)
