The “Mixed Tape” assignment was to chose at least two different musical instruments and merge them together into one. Both should be recognizable and playable. We were supposed to make it within two weeks and being able to add details. We had to keep at least one of the three dimensions at one meter. The purpose was to understand the scale and make it possible for a human being to interact with. I started my research of musical instruments and went into bongos and the sousaphone for the organic shape of tubes and the possibility to carry it as a part of our body. Once figured out dimensions, I started to make a lot of trials and body fits. The instrument was built into multiple parts and at the end were joined together.
