Printing sound as 3D sculptures you can play

Waveforms you can hold in your hand, yet still listen to? Colossal writes,

[T]he team is creating software that turns any snippet of audio—from rock music to spoken poetry—into curious objects 3d-printed from bronze, plastic, or even coconut husk. Reify is also creating software that allows you to ‘scan’ the sculptures with your phone to interpret them back into audio.

The creators themselves write,

REIFY transforms sound into something we can see, sculpt and hold.

Using 3D digital technologies, we build collaborative tools for creating cross-sensory experiences of sound.

We are collective of visual artists, musicians, designers & technologists who are driven by a shared curiosity in the interplay of form and meaning — a digital synesthesia.
