The Sound of Clothes Truetones?
This is stretching things a bit in terms of cell phones, but it's so interesting. It's a project to capture the sound clothes makes. So why not a collection of truetones that sound like garments russling; feathers, sequins, glass crystals and beads, nylon, taffeta, leather, velvet, jacquard, zips and metallic chains.
Over the Spring '06 season, SHOW Studio has embarked upon a series of projects devoted to exploring The Sound of Clothes.
Beyond overlaying imagery with non-specific sound - such as favourite songs or ambient music - the aim of The Sound of Clothes series is to explore a range of audio possibilities, such as discovering the actual sound a garment makes.
Zora Star was the model for the shoot held June 1st, an 'audio collections story' based on garments from the Autumn/Winter '06-7 season - held in a hemi-anechoic chamber to record for recording.
