Gradofone, 2021
Inspired by Dead Space’s soundscape, Gradofone is an acoustic instrument that I designed and built for the creation of horror soundtracks.
The instrument is a several meter long fence shaped in acilinder in which it is put a metalic cone that was purposefully hammered to be uneven so it would have different sounds when it. A string also runs through the fence which allows the instrument to be bowed.
The visuals mimic the industrial and desolate industrial themes that are present through the setting of the videogame’s story, it was also my first experiment with Touch Designer.
The audiovisuals can be seen here and the instrument being played here.
