Instruments & Sound object

My approach take a look on 'hybrid instrument'. 'Hybrid' is about I'm mixing heritage with new technologies, like I control digitally electro-mechanic objects (as DC motor, vibrator, solenoid,...) on home build instrument.
So, mainly I insert electro-mechanism onto an acoustic/physic element for make them produce sound.
The combination impart specific result and link to a computer, that extend the playing expressivity by organising singular pattern and effect, crazy clock processus,...
I don’t try to reproduce existing instrument or gesture but to seek into sounds experiences. They’re gathering ancestral lutherie technics and digital/electronic engineering.

Les tiges

The Tiges are based on 2 PVC tube with a Skin, hit by a rotated stick. The rotating motor is set on a screw and make vary the distance and pressure apply by the stick and effect the tone

the Drums

Vibrator are set on skin drums and make them vibrate

the Cymbals
