Keepsakes

A voice you can hold.

TraceSound does not stop at the recording and the artwork. We make the keepsake too — acrylic blocks and engraved oak boards carrying your glyph and your own words. Set it on a desk or a shelf, and anyone who scans it hears the voice.

Ordering opens soon. You can already preview each keepsake with your own glyph and words.

Sound, artwork and keepsake — in one place

Many soundwave keepsakes are made in one place, with the audio kept somewhere else, behind a QR code. TraceSound keeps all three together:

  • The sound — the real recording, kept under the Forever Promise.
  • The artwork — your glyph, drawn in the style and colour you chose, and itself the code a phone scans.
  • The keepsake — printed or engraved by us from that same glyph, and made only with methods we have scan-tested.

Because the people who make the object are the people who keep the voice playing, there is no link to break between them. How this compares with QR-code soundwave art.

How to make one

  1. Make your glyph from a recording, and hear it scan before you pay.
  2. Open a keepsake and see your glyph on it, with a live preview of your title and words.
  3. Choose the size and finish. The glyph is paid for once; the keepsake is its own one-time purchase.

Questions

Does the keepsake really play the voice?

Yes. The glyph printed or engraved on it is the same glyph you kept, so anyone who scans it with a phone hears the recording. Each production method is only offered once glyphs made with it have been scanned back successfully.

Can I add words or a photo?

Yes. Each keepsake has its own fields — a title, a few lines of your own words, and on some a photo — and the product page shows them on the object as you type.

Do I pay again to keep the voice playing?

No. The glyph is paid for once, whether it ends up on one keepsake or ten. The keepsake itself is a separate, one-time purchase.

Can I order several for the family?

Yes. One glyph can go on as many keepsakes as you like, and every one plays the same voice.
