ASSIGNMENT + CONCEPT
For this assignment we were asked to create a melange of two or more instruments, creating a whole new one which could be played and used by us. The multiple instruments could be played either separately or at the same time, depending on what we were going for. The important part was that at least one side of the instrument should measure one meter, that it should be as threedimrntional and interesting as possible and that the instrument should be able to fit our body so we could “actually” play it.
First of all I thought about which instruments I wanted to mix with which and in which way. I setteled for a violin and two tamburines. The next and most important step was reaserch. Fortunately I had the instruments I need at home, soit was easier to take measurements measurements and proportions. I then scaled the measurements I got and started cutting and assembling together the pieces. For last I decides to cover the rugh cardboard edges with the surface layer of the cardbord for a cleaner look. As a final tutch I also added strings.
