Clad in Jules Verne-esque copper and jade-coloured leather suits worthy of any steampunk, Amundsen and Slade are two mad scientists whose mission is to get audience members interacting with each other through sound.
The Sonic Soul Suits are covered in sensor pads and connected wirelessly to both a laptop and a sampling microphone. With the suits on, Amundsen and Slade (or audience members) can sample and loop sound, move sound from one body part to the next, duel with samples or create entirely new pieces of music together.
