soundjewl.jpgThe Sound Jewelry concept occurred to co-author Toru Iwatake, a composer, a few years ago. Since then, its realization has become a collaborative project with co-author Takuya Yamauchi, an interaction designer. Sound Jewelry is an evolving project, therefore the actual method of its realization may differ in one way or another with each use, but the essential concept of creating an interactive sound environment using sensing capabilities remains the same. Video >>.

The name Sound Jewelry was coined to refer collectively to a set of intelligent musical instruments to be held or worn somewhat like pendants. Each such item is designed to be capable of sound production and of sensing its relative distance from others. With them, they create musically responsive and interactive environments.
