We have a sonic costume.
This is the Sonic Costume. It was built by an incredible team of people and friends, including:
Karen Palmer, who created the idea and built the first prototype.
Julien Maire, who made it interactive and three-dimensional.
Lucia Giannetta, who created the beautiful graphics that cover it.
Marko Manriquez, who developed software to make it all work together.
And many more people, who did everything from painting to sewing.
We have a sonic costume that we are using in the noise parade. It has a speaker and an amp, and a little mic that you can hook up to your ipod. We cut out holes in the box for people to stick their heads through, and added some decoration with paint (ok, Jonny painted it, I just drew).
For our annual Halloween costume contest this year, we have a sonic costume. The costume is made of two parts:
1) sonic head
2) blue blanket
Sonic head is made from papier-mâché on cardboard. It is decorated with colored paper and will be worn with a blue blanket thrown over the wearer’s body. The blue blanket serves as the body of the costume and represents sonics blue coloring.
Dear costume companies,
We are writing to request a sonic costume for our son, Ethan. Ethan has Down Syndrome and is obsessed with the color blue and all things Sonic. I have been looking everywhere, but there is not a sonic costume available in his size. Would you consider making one? I understand that it may not be profitable to create such a limited number of costumes, but it would make Ethan’s Halloween dreams come true.
I am looking for a sonic costume. I know they exist, because I saw it in the movie “The Fifth Element.”
The costume is a black jumpsuit with light strips, which are illuminated and flash to the beat of the music.
I would like to rent one, or buy it. Please contact me as soon as possible so that I can make arrangements for a photo shoot.
To make a sonic costume requires:
1) fabric 2) speakers 3) amplifier and 4) DMX lighting. In order to have the best sonic costume, you need to know what kind of music will be played on the speakers and how it will sound with the fabric.
You also need to know how your speakers will work with your amplifier. Every costume needs different types of electronics, but usually you can use any material. I used speakers because I wanted them to be loud enough to be heard over my clothes. For example, I had a dress that was made out of two layers of fabric, and the second layer had a speaker in it so that when the music was playing, it would vibrate against my body and make it sound like I was wearing a costume.
For this project, I chose cotton fabric because it is lightweight and durable. It’s also easy to sew together and can be dyed many colors easily.
Krystal’s costume is a sonic costume. It has multiple parts, some of which are:
Red shoes
A red shirt with a blue and black vest
Black pants with white stripes
Krystal designed this costume herself.
