The glove is made using elastic bands, that will allow a better fit to the forearm. The bands are sewed following a ring pattern that covers the upper part of the hand, the wrist and the lower part of the arm. On top of these elastic bands, rings of metallic band are sewed, creating a wearable switch that is meant to be closed with another wire connected as well to the arduino board.<br>

For the MAX patch, a few tutorials about sound manipulation are followed, ir order to distort a given audio track according to the use of the glove. For this time, a sound piece from "Das Triadische Ballet" from Oskar Schlemmer is used. The idea is to create a new and different piece by applying sound filters, distortions and echo effects. Two of the effects are controlled from the glove, while two others need to be controlled from the MAX patch itself -in the future would be ideal to have more "control rings" on the glove, that would allow complete control over all the filters-.<br>
<br>
The patch is then splitted into three main groups; the first one loads the audio track form the PC storage, opens and plays it using the ''sfplay~'' object, among with some other sub-objects that allow loop, pause, resume, visualize the audio signal and control the volume of it. <br>
The second group would be the one used to create the sound effects, by extracting a number from the sound track and applying waveforms with different cycles that will produce different sound accordingly. These sound effects must be controlled from the MAX patch, lowering and rising the signal/volume.<br>
The third group creates echo effects over the main audio track, using two ''delay'' objects, each one triggered by one of the "control rings" on the glove.
