Wearable Music Tech Inspired by Talkbox and Auto Tune TALKBOX A Talkbox physically replaces a performers voice with the frequency content of an instrument such as synthesizer or guitar. Talkbox takes advantage of the performers mouth, providing an intuitive expressiveness unparalleled by other mediums. BOSKO – FOUNDER PETER FRAMPTON Bon Jovi DAFT PUNK “Work out” J.Cole feat.
