Sewing Sound

A great sound visualization project by Sounds.Butter. Taking a car radio and sewing machine to create this product prototype. A mate of Vasco ( my always entertaining, circuit bending, desk buddy! ).

I love the idea of marrying up digital and physical, especially by applying dynamic data to materials and media that are traditionally always designed and fixed in their look and feel - like textiles. ( Check out the RSS Knitter if you missed it ). I always wanted to hook up a mic to an embroidery machine. Find some method of interpreting, abstracting and stylising the input from shouting your name, and have it draw out onto your jeans for example. An old idea now, but i think it’d still be fun. You buy some product that is standard and are given the means to make it totally unique to you. You could create a range of plain objects designed by various designers and add your own touch to it ( even if you’re not that creative ), and there you have it - a celebrity designer collaboration with yourself. Ace.
