The Sound of Textiles – Lumierophone

Lumierophone-textile-soundTwo highly creative ladies, Kristina Johansen and Yann Seznec transforming a bed sheet with the help of some eTextile magic into a sound emitting surface called ‘Lumierophone‘.

The light sensors and other components are hand sewn to the bed sheet with the synthesizer connected to the LDRs via metal popper buttons eliminating the need to connect the textile sound system to a computer.

These sensors control a synthesizer that generates sound based on what is projected on the textile sheet.

Imagine the potential this concepts has: a projection wall created with this technology could generate sound sequences based on the video content projected onto such screen.

This concept might not be able to replace the conventional sound sources for movie watching but it could serve as enrichment in interior design, having wall curtains that emit soft sound by changing light conditions.

Watch the video below to see and hear the Lumierophone in action:
