Musician Builds Hypnotic Acoustic Instrument That Sounds Like a Synthesizer

by twistedsifter

 

Yaybahar is an electric-free, completely acoustic instrument designed by Görkem Şen. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in a unique listening experience with hypnotizing surround sound.

What you are hearing in this performance was captured in real-time without any additional effects and with no post audio processing.
