Make music with your tie

sound-fabric-cassette-ties

Sonic Sound has been getting a lot of press with these cool ties made from the originally named 'Sound Fabric' this week. Made from 50% audio cassette tape and 50% colored thread, they actually produce sound by running a tape-head over the fabric.

I saw a similar project a few years ago at Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona two years ago where they had made a dress out of various materials of different colours that produced unique sounds as you ran the tape-head over the dress.

It is interesting to see such an cool concept now being adopted into popular fashion.
