DJglove
BJglove is a device than can be used to control different parameters that will modify a sound track through different filters and echo effects. The idea is to control all the different options just by touching the different metallic stripes that cover the glove, applying a particular effect with every different touch. The glove is controlled through and arduino board and wired to it through the analog pins 0 and 1. The first idea was to have a wireless glove though, using a wireless board like a node mcu.
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.

MAXpatches
I've been following some online tutorials, to get more confortable with the software and the options it offers. Still not feeling completely sure /confortable with the overall workingflow. Some more work is needed.

BRAINSTORM
Would it be possible to create an orchestra of light and sound based on our breathing patterns? on our heart beat rate? on our corporal temperature and moisture?
Would it be possible to create a wearable that would collect all this data?
maybe a mask? a helmet perhaps?
is it just a small device? or is it more like a whole suit?
How would we sound and shine like while sleeping? or while doing some kind of physical activity?
Would it be possible to combine more than one personal orchestra to get a collaborative composition? light and sound merge together
