# Musical Clothes The Aeolia Cello Garment is a Wearable Musical Instument By TopDog | Published 2010-01-29 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeolia-cello-garment References: [ubergizmo](http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2010/01/wearable_cello_weaves_a_tune.html) & [fashioningtech](http://www.fashioningtech.com/profiles/blogs/the-aeolia-cello-garment-goes) Martha Glazzard at Nottingham Trent University created a fantastic [stretch sensing fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mij-technology) for the Aeolia Project that reproduces the sounds made by a Cellist. The conductive yarn was specifically tailored to fit cellist Peter Gregson. The Aeolia Cello garment will be making an appearance as Peter Gregson performs at [MIT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-kit)’s Tangible and Embedded Interfaces 2010. The concept seems to be following Clarke’s Third Law which states: ‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’ which in this case, is a [wearable musical instrument](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inxects-vest). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wearable Musical Instruments:** Opportunity to disrupt the music industry by creating innovative wearable instruments that enhance musicians' performances. - **Stretch Sensing Fabric:** Opportunity to disrupt the fashion industry by developing fabrics that detect and respond to movement, opening up possibilities for interactive and adaptive clothing. - **Conductive Yarn:** Opportunity to disrupt the textile industry by integrating conductive yarn into fabrics, enabling the creation of smart textiles with embedded sensors and connectivity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music:** Opportunity to innovate within the music industry by exploring new ways to create and perform music using wearable instruments. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create technologically advanced clothing using stretch sensing fabric, blurring the lines between fashion and technology. - **Textiles:** Opportunity to transform the textile industry by incorporating conductive yarn into fabrics, enabling the development of smart textiles with various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Carbon Cellos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-carbon-cello.md) - [Experimental Programmable Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/programmable-clothing.md) - [Music Analysis Compact Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analist.md) - [Compact Bio-Synth Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-scion.md) - [Interactive Weaved Jacquard Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dung-dkar-cloak.md) - [Tactile Interactive Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha.md) - [Futuristic Abstract Musical Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeta-electric-guitar.md) - [Electronic String Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmoni.md) - [Ai Music Module Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-3.md)
