Sound Art Performance
2012-2018
An ancient sewing machine is transformed into a string instrument, amplified and digitally processed. The foot pedal actions a plectrum plucking a guitar string, the pitch is modulated with a bottleneck slide on the left hand, the right hand controls custom effects.
The device was built as a tool for an intuitive approach to musical intervals, reproducing the primitive experience of searching for harmonics on a vibrating string. The human player, the mechanical device, and the digital delays system constantly adapt their respective speeds to reach elusive moments of stability.
