Wearable Instrument<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This project bridges fashion, textiles, and sound by creating a wearable instrument that transforms body movement into musical expression. The garment enables intuitive sound interaction using knitted, stretch-responsive sensors. The textile material enhances comfort and emotional resonance, while integrated sensors control real-time audio effects such as hunching back to adjust reverb, skirt movements to deepen tones, and arm gestures to trigger string or bass notes. A metal clasp acts as the main power switch. The result is a performative, tactile interface that reconnects users with sensory and expressive dimensions of sound through wearable technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
