interview with diego stocco
the super-inspiring instrument fandangler/sound designer, diego stocco (much featured here at abulafiamusic), is interviewed by the new FIDM Digital Arts blog. CDM also has a couple of cool soundcloud clips from diego, the first being a cinematic sound design piece, and the second the totally blah source material used to create the first.

will menter
on further investigation of will menter’s dance/music performance art (see below), i’m going to recommend taking a look at all the stuff he’s got on vimeo. maybe you need to be in the mood for it, but it’s all pretty top notch and, at the very least, interesting.

bassoforte – miotf
thanks to chutson for passing this along
Few days ago I started thinking about how I could re-purpose the keyboard of the dismantled piano I keep in the garden, so I thought to build a new instrument by combining it with some other parts I had laying around. I ended up with this mechanical hybrid thing I thought to call “Bassoforte” (bass + pianoforte).
The neck is from a broken electric bass, as a bridge I used a cabinet handle, the pickups are from a guitar, and the part at the top where the strings are attached is a chimney cap, which works as resonator as well as percussive sound.
The track I created is a tribute to my Dad who is a big fan of Western comic books and “spaghetti western” films, and because of him I am too.
