Soundbelt 2003

This belt is made of woven cables and electronic bits and pieces, into which sensors are embedded. Bendsensors, proximity sensors,
potentiometers and a slider allow the wearer to control various parameters of a synthesizer.

The sensor cables are bundled into an "umbilical cord" which connects the belt to the pc system. The sound-generating pc system
can be hidden off-stage.

Although fully functional, the belt was never presented in a public performance.

The sound belt triggered another idea: the bass belt. This belt would not have any sensors, but look just like neck of a bass!
