Music Hammock

In today’s fast-paced society, our minds often become overactive, disconnecting us from our bodies. Parker Hertzberger’s ‘Music Hammock’ seeks to shift our focus away from our minds back to physical awareness by providing a meditative listening experience. This is achieved through a device that transforms the fabric of a hammock into a speaker, inviting users to lie back and feel the sensation of the music vibrate through their whole body. Parker’s invention can be seen as a new medium for live performances, allowing musicians to provide their audiences with a full multisensory experience that lets the music guide them on an internal journey, and listen with their whole self.
