Waveform bracelet displays sound advice

sound_bracelet.jpgOrdinary folks can engrave a bracelet or ring with a personal message. For a more cryptic approach, The Sound Advice Project will record your voice and transform the waveform into jewelry. I stare at waveforms all day long, and these bracelets look like they're a close representation. But let's avoid a discussion about what their sampling rate and quantization levels are.

The bracelets were conceived for parents to create discrete anti-drug messages for their teens, with a portion of the proceeds going to anti-drug programs. However, there's no reason that has to be its only purpose. Who needs diamonds — what woman wouldn't adore a bracelet that says, "Thanks for putting up with my video game obsession?"

This reminds me of the Emoto Project, that studied the effect of voice and choice of words on water. There is a book published by this project that has photographs of how water crystals behaved after "hearing" certain words.

I think this is a really neat idea.
I can think of some many things I would like to say.

The last one in the second picture doesn't match up to the phrase at all...

I think this could be really cool -- though its not very wearable... maybe if the inside rim was flat, it would fit against the wrist much better.
