On the heels of the announcement of 'the birth of a new grand piano' from world-renowned Hungarian pianist/innovator Gergely Bogányi, a Miami-based studio has come up with a new, beautifully bizarre design for a violin.
Monad Studio — artists Eric Goldemberg and Veronica Zalcberg — and musician Scott F. Hall have created a violin that seems to be more like something you might see used as a weapon in a futuristic sci-fi film or video game than in a concert hall. The instrument uses only two strings, and its interactive surface allows performers to create various timbres and textures through the use of a computer.
The violin will be on display as part of the 3D Print Design Show in New York City, this coming April.
