Contact speakers are sound devices which turn any surface into a resonant instrument. My research will focus on the possibilities given by the use of multiple contact speakers, connected with their tactile capabilities: multiple sources of vibration can stimulate our tactile perception in different parts of our body (what I call “spatialization of the tactile sensation“), for example if applied on a chair. Sound can then not only be heard, but also “touched”. Being able to separately control multiple vibration devices means also to identify spatial implications of sound movement, which opens up the path for an artistic use of the sound system.
On the other hand, making objects vibrate may lead to create even visual results…
This research project is funded by Kulturbryggan (Sweden). The activities at the Darmstadt Ferienkurse (August 2014) are also supported by Kungliga Musikaliska Akademien (Sweden).
…touch my sound… 
Låter intressant Alessandro = )
Lycka till med projektet.
Tack!
I think this would be great for use with people having disabilities, especially when teaching them music or language. Wish you all the best for your wonderful work
Thank you for your feedback!
Thanks for your follow of Heart of Life Poetry. As you can see from my tags at that site, I am quite interested in sound myself. Do you know about Musicworks Magazine (https://www.musicworks.ca/) and the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology? (http://wfae.proscenia.net/) Best wishes with your work.
Thanks for the follow on my blog. Your research here is fascinating.
Great post to befefit those in need.Thank you for following my blog.Best wishes.
What interesting research you’re doing. Not only could you aid people with sensory deficits with your work, but I could easily see it featured at MOMA in Manhattan, as I’ve experienced several sound and vibrational works there.
Thank you for the follow, as well! 🙂
