I used Arduino to create a touch audible system that connects a conductive object to a motherboard and computer when one can use touch to give the object a beautiful sound like the elves on Crammond Island. After experimenting with various conductive materials, I finally chose to use multi-colored wires to create the finished product. I use wires because they are as colorful and intertwined as the sounds of the island, and they are also like the circular connecting lines in a musical score. I used the weaving method to weave these wires into a dress and connected the sound-making device at the location of the inlaid shells, and when people touch the shells with their hands, the computer will make a beautiful piano sound.
