“Mixed Tape”
BA Design Warm-Up – Foundation Course
2023
semester
We were to build a fictitious hybrid instrument out of cardboard and had every freedom in the execution. The object should again be more than one metre tall.
I got some inspiration from the internet and found some really interesting instruments, like horns with special shapes. Then I naively set about building volume shapes out of triangles that always rotate in the direction they point. In this way I created quite interesting solids that I wanted to use as drums, which I then combined with an interesting horn that has a stratetube and no curves. Then I cut holes in the drums and put the tube of the horn through them. Finally, I build the end of the horn the same way as the drums and an attachment that is removable. This way you can take the drums off and change their position depending on what you need at the moment. To be able to play the drums, I built a stick with a bend to play the drums.
