Sensible Music

The movie shows how the product Sensible music is used. (effect of the product is exaggerated in the movie to show workings)

A current health risk for a lot of people, especially youth, is music induced hearing loss. Young people turn up the volume of their music on their mp3 player to feel the low tones, increasing the risk of hearing loss. With this project I presented a design to really feel the music when listening to it with an mp3-player while having the music's volume on a healthy level; Sensible Music. The Dutch Hearing Society makes young people aware of the risks of music induced hearing loss and acted as an expert partner.

The main product consists of three parts: the filtering module and two separate vibration motors. The signal of an mp3-player is filtered and the lower frequencies are translated to the two vibration motors. The vibration motors are attached to the wires of the ear buds and when you are listening to your favorite music you will really feel the beat. Want to feel more? Just detach one of the vibration motors and click it onto your shirt and the vibration will spread through your clothing. Not enough? Put on one of the specially designed sensible music garments, attach the vibration motor and feel the beat travel to your body. Music is perceived as being loud on a safe volume.
