Applied to a musical context, specific actuation patterns transmit predetermined score information to mobile musicians through this new kind of ergonomic interface. Thus, this tactile information can be used to train musicians to "read" a "body suit score" intuitively, and to efficiently produce musical output that is linked to vibrotactile sensations. {{ projects:bodysuit:felix-workshop.jpg?680 | Felix Del Tredici performs Fragile Disequilibria at Concordia University 2015 }}
