LAVA – permanently varying natural phenomena, expression of at first liquid and viscous, later stiffened mass. Streamline, eternity, permanent pulsation, eruption – that’s the keywords, which in some way are pictured by guitar silhouette and the sound of plaid music.
Clear maple flutes were left – picture of naturalism, permanent pulsation, the same as in music, for which this guitar is assigned: prolonged notes, varying melody, variable music harmony. Streamline forms of the guitar provides functional and as well the ergonomic benefit for musician (body of guitar smoothly nestles),
also pictures the conception of lava.
Black details of guitar and ebony fingerboard – sort of commemoration of stiffened lava.
The main idea of project or pursued goal – to reflect modern classic using ergonomic forms.
I got inspiration from classical instruments: cello, violin, contrabass and Eastern instruments, the main detail of which is fretless neck. With fretless neck you can provide shade sounds, such as microtones. This demands “skilled hand” while playing, but for musician it gives wider opportunities. Vibrating notes with fretless neck, opposite then with guitar with frets, makes sound unique and reminds motives of ethnic music, which is the keystone of the music I create and this project is. What concerns visual aspect, the fretless neck does not uglify form with vertical sections and forms remains pure.
Guitar body thickest place - 36mm, thinnest place - 12mm . Weight aprox. 3kg.
One of the main ideas of project is to convey the secret that musician creates together with his instrument and in this process “tells” listener specific and unique “legend”. To realize this project I mainly referred to my technological experience gained in one year and my creation of music in which I sought to express and combine the variety of music and to find new look to sound of guitar.
I tried to analyze specific sound of music and put forward some sensibility aspects: urbanism and pulsation.
Urbanism – sharp and changing sounds, which are joined by varying harmony.
Pulsation – permanently volatile, prolonged, with wide diapason and with different rhythm sounds.
