These textile were then connected with an analog synthesizer circuit or with computer software to control sound effects.<br \/>\nWe take this idea further on to create textile music instruments. The resistance properties of the textile material changes as you press it, wrap it around, hug it&#8230; and whatever the way the material and the shape allows us, letting us play the instruments in completely different way than conventional ones.<br \/>\nWe are currently developing a collection of textile raw material samples and also full scale textile audio interfaces that suggests experimental applications.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Textile Resistance\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/IMG_1274-590x442.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"590\"
