MUSIC FOR EXERCISE
Headband & Film
Soon you can be the proud owner of this headband - filled with music written and packaged to be listened to while exercising - developed by the Scandinavian music and performance ensemble Sekten. You can plug your favorite pair of headphones or earbuds right into the headband, put it on, and listen to the music while you sweat, or plug the unit into a large sound system via mini-jack cable if you want to share it while you work out as a group.
This is Sekten’s take on how workout music could (and should) be, and the music on this headband unit has been created specifically for the purpose of being listened to while exercising.

This combination of Sektens experimenting sound space with their strong visual expression is manifestated in the film KLUBBHUS.
