"Hé" (together), which means together/integrated/whole in Chinese, echoes the form of this work and allows the user to experience the meaning of combination."Hé" (together)-Speaker design transforms sound into touchable building blocks that the user assembles like building blocks when in use. Break down existing audio by physically segmenting elements of the song, such as rhythm/rhyme/lyric. This approach allows the user to listen to different elements of the song individually. And each block can disassemble to experience features such as stereo surround.
