The project, called Mórimo, aims to provide a platform for musical expression, with an emphasis on tactile properties of sound.It regards music in a very sensuous way -as a tactile composition perceived physically trought the body.In addition to being heard, the Human body may experience sounds also as haptic sensations, from subtle vibrations to shaking.This phenomena is produced by natural as well as artificial sources; and so it may also be experienced when listening to music.The idea of a tactile sound aesthetic experience brings an artistic view to this phenomena.Among existing familiar projects, this work investigates the human body-music interaction, within the performative context in particular.This experience is shared between listener and perfotmer.Additionally, both roles (listener and performer) can easily be taken by deaf or hearing-impaired individuals, as to reveal a broader and deeper sense of listening.
