How can one describe unheard of sound? It's an elusive concept... The immense depth of music crafted with undiscovered sound remains wide open and infinite ...and that's where I want to exist. This instrument brings the unseen into view for discovery. I revere sound as an incredibly powerful art form capable of reaching farther... and that's why I pursue the construction of this evolutionary 3D instrument to focus my art. I believe in the power of this new music possibility and its three dimensional sound to lift us up... to evolve our senses to discover buried inner truths. The 3D sonic art form is far more powerful than currently realized and this instrument will reveal that in unprecedented new ways... Let me show you...

 

 

What It Is...

The acoustic audio geometry existing between these 40 strings is phenomenal... its ricochet harmonics are captured in 3D by dozens of custom software controlled sensors, pick ups and tranducers...all presented in a one-of-a-kind 3D atmosphere. Hundreds of distinct programmable parameters are available for the first time, focusing an entirely new frontier of sound shaping and music making. This is the mock-up layout model showing how it's played. The music is for demonstration.

 

2 | in studio

I was 21 and hired at one of the most beautiful recording studios. I had the opportunity to record an experimental album there that had been brewing in me since I was a boy... There were two extraordinary things that came from those sessions... one was that expansive solo album ...and the other was a 40-stringed instrument derived from the audio science achieved at those sessions. I've been on an expedition into 3D audio fascinations ever since ... I've brought back many fine things to share...
