A DJ with a wearable Sub Pac
Our aim in creating We Made It was to look at the way that invention, design and fabrication are every bit as integral to the arts world as aesthtics, concept and genre.
Our aim in creating We Made It was to look at the way that invention, design and fabrication are every bit as integral to the arts world as aesthtics, concept and genre. This week's profile couldn't show that any better: over on the Bruichladdich site, we meet John Alexiou, a passionate music lover switched on by his experience of drum'n'bass soundsystems, who wondered how he could take that experience out into the world. By creating his wearable bass "speaker", the Sub Pac, he not only did that, but created entirely new possibilities about how music is experienced.
