Touché

If your eyes can enjoy a visual show while your ears appreciate live music, how would your skin react to a tactile composition? Touché brings to life a unique experience, expanding the music to your skin through the interpretation of a haptic performer.


Touché is not about translating audio frequencies into physical vibrations - it offers a creative tool for performers and listeners to artistically explore this long neglected sense - touch.

A family of pads can be mapped in any combination, creating a network of pulsating on your body. The performer will compose, alongside the musician and the visual artist, to create an immersive synaesthetic concert, sending vibration loops and temperature melodies down your spine.
