CRDL
Crdl is an instrument enabling personal contact for people who have difficulty with verbal communication and/or social interaction, such as people with dementia, autism or intellectual or visual impairment. Crdl makes it easy to share an intuitive moment of attention, proximity and affection.
When two people each rest a hand on the wooden instrument and touch each other at the same time, mutual touches are converted into sound fragments and sounds. The variation in touch affects the sounds generated.
