The StringStation incorporates the new science of Digital Sound Modeling allowing the entire expressive dynamics of human touch on strings to be the catalyst for any sound imaginable...

It also introduces an intricate 3D resonance factor that reveals an atmospheric, dimensional soundfield completely unique. Under fingertips, strings vibrate instantly with detailed nuance and dynamics allowing extream expressiveness in music and sound creation- The StringStations 40-strings are set in distinct groups (bass, melody, rhythm, orchestration)- that when combined with its 3D pickup matrix, pulls pure tone resolution delivering an ultra wide, exceptionally dimensional panorama. It captures in 3D, a 'fractal lattice of interpolations'. The sonic force of its natural string tones laced with any sound via digital sound modeling is the beginning of an extreme level of surround music adventure...

Computer control allows levels of sound design and editing possibilities never before available with stringed instruments. The StringStation computer is strategically interconnected providing every possible configuration of control.

With detailed command over twelve separately processed harmonically interwoven groups of strings, a completely tailorable three dimensional surround spectrum is revealed.

WHAT : The Stringstation is a custom 40-string music instrument designed to allow strings to advance future music in Surround Sound.

WHO : Developed by Passport / Audion recording artist Jim Bartz. Bartz was signed as a guitarist pre-StringStation by Larry Fast of Peter Gabriels band while he was an engineer/producer at one of the midwests premier recording facilities.

WHY : Discoveries in late night recording studios led to the invention of this stringed instrument that could be split into a matrix of separate outputs, allowing the 3D resonance and layering of many different sound colors from one source with the ability to play bass, rhythm, melody and orchestrations simultaneously with two hands.

WHERE : Somewhere in Seattle.

HOW : The StringStation utilizes every playing technique known to stringed instruments and many new ones evolved from the combination of 3 customized 8-string steel guitars, one 6-string, a 10-string Chapman Stick.
