Minichord

You probably remember the Omnichord: that weird, strummable chord synth from Japan. Well, somebody is making a Volca version of it.

String Armonica mkII

Here’s one that is truly quite unusual. They describe it as being a synth that uses strings instead of electronic circuits to create its waveforms. It reminds me of both the Korg’s Synthesis_phase8, and Dave Riedstra’s Sympath.

Fron2

I generally stick to electronic stuff here, but this one looks too fun to not post it. Also, it sounds almost electronic.

Horizon

Don’t know much about this one, but it sure looks quite unusual!

Alternative Music Exhibition

The exhibition Alternative Music imagines alternate reality instruments of various kinds.

Within the exhibition, we propose a thought experiment in which we go back to earlier, and in one case even prehistoric, periods of music, deriving speculative scenarios that describe alternative development paths of both instruments and the music created with them. Based on three hypothetical events of fundamental significance, thereby changing the course of human development, we propose three alternative visions of music’s evolution, manifested in the form of physical artifacts presented in the exhibition space.
