Guitar
No guitar making nor sketches these last days, I'm on travel, but the brain is still active. I met a few days ago with my friend and experimental electronic musician Daniel Schorno who works at STEIM Amsterdam (Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music) and build his own instruments.
- More Sketches For The Baritone Project
you probably noticed this long pause in the guitar making - hence the new series of sketches posts... I'm still working on a dance and music performance that will happen next week and then I can go back to the workbench - including a few days...

A little bit more info about the crackle guitar project on STEIM project blog....

Finally gathered the gear for the crackle guitars project - the problem being that the strings are also contacters for the crackle circuit, so they have to be isolated from each other and have separated contacts on the body to connect to the electronics...

For those who wonder about the crackle guitar project, this an inspiring expansion of the crackle box, created by visual artist Oscar Ramos during a residence at STEIM - you can see more about this work and others on his project blog. I keep this work...

New project: Crackle Guitar
No guitar making nor sketches these last days, I'm on travel, but the brain is still active. I met a few days ago with my friend and experimental electronic musician Daniel Schorno who works at STEIM Amsterdam (Studio for Electro-Instrumental Music) and build his own instruments.
Brainstorming about instrument making, we had the idea of building together a Crackle Guitar, an hybrid of guitar and STEIM's famous crackle box, an analogic pocket synthesizer played by finger contact on electronic circuits.
We intend to transform the pickguard of a guitar into a graphic circuit that can be touched by the guitarist while playing and alter the sound of the pickups... That will be a project for next year since my working agenda is already quite full, but I'm already quite excited about it!
And though I don't post much here, I keep contributing daily to the Guitar Blog - check me there!
