Prototype

The Untitled Glove

For this project I wanted to experiment with sound and ones ability to manipulate sound through the touch of their fingers.

The way in which this piece works is though the aluminum tabs on the finger tips of the glove. When the user completes that circuit by touching one of their fingers to their thumb, a sound will generate. A certain musical note corresponds to each figure. (see diagram for specific note to finger relationship)
This piece is in it prototypical stage, but the opportunities to expand the ideas are endless.
