The Master's students in Acoustic Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark, Tommer Tchelet, Brent Reissman, and Gabriele Ravissa, developed three audiotactile loungers equipped with a broad-frequency response shaker (Clark Synthesis Gold) positioned at the back of the chairs to enable them to vibrate with low frequencies and radiate music like a loudspeaker. Two of them feature also a series of dowels that directly stimulate the audience's back and legs through the chairs and sidebars for the stimulation of the hand and forarm. They also have sympathetic bars that directly transmit vibrations to the users, amplifying the resonance in the higher frequencies.
The three audio-tactile loungers were exhibited for a year at the Museum of Art and History of Geneva as part of the "Resonance Nocturne" project. This initiative, led by Raphael Ortis and Charolle Nordin, invited composers to participate in a three-day residency to create music specifically tailored for these innovative loungers. Each month, the museum hosted a concert featuring the new compositions.
A survey conducted with the University of Geneva revealed that the audience overwhelmingly responded positively to the audio-tactile loungers, showcasing their potential to engage and captivate listeners in a unique and immersive experience.
