Soundwave Voice Message Art & Jewelry
Love letters. Tattoos. Sext messages. All valid and romantic ways to let them know you care. But none are as unique as a ring engraved with the sound waves produced when you tell them. Record a message you want a loved one (or yourself) to remember--professions of passion, wedding vows, words of encouragement, even a baby's heartbeat--and Soundwave Art will extract the unique sound waves your voice generates and reproduce them on wall art, a ring, or a pendant.
Voice recordings are made directly from the company's purchase pages, and gift / memento selections include:
- Contemporary, colorful artwork in your choice of print, 0.045" thick aluminum panel, or canvas. Size options range from 8" x 12" to 30" x 45".
- Band-style ring in both performance and precious metal materials, such as Titanium, Cobalt Chrome, Black Zirconium, and Carbon Fiber.
- Vertical, horizontal, circular, or heart-shaped pendant in sterling silver, 14K Yellow, or 14K White Gold.
How does Soundwave Art accomplish this audiovisual coup? A little geek out: sounds consist of a series of compression and rarefaction waves traveling through a medium. In other words, when someone speaks or, say, uses a chainsaw, they are creating areas of high (compression) and low (rarefaction) pressure, pushing air molecules around and creating waves. When the waves hit our eardrums they vibrate, resonate, and translate through our bones and brains so we understand what we are hearing. Even cooler, every voice and sound is singular to its producer, so no two sets of waves are ever identical. And transferring these spikes and dips and subtle nuances to a visual medium results in completely one of a kind pieces of art. Voice Art.
