You might orgasm, you might see God, you might shit yourself.” It’s been a long time since I went out in Camden with this particular trifecta of potential consequences in mind. Yet these are, allegedly, the effects that could await me when I try on Vollebak’s Sonic Jacket in their trendy HQ on Mandela Street, a stone’s throw from Koko and the Blues Kitchen.
This jacket is a “wearable sound field”, crafted with 180 inward-facing speakers, each 32mm across and 10mm deep, that fire frequency directly into the body. They’re mounted in laser-cut holes and generate frequencies from 4 Hz to 20,000 Hz, delivering sound that you “feel” rather than hear.
