AEROMEMBRANOPHONE /// 2021-2023

Warsaw Autumn Festival, 2023

Aeromembranophone is a pitched percussion instrument, serving as a fully-fledged element of an algorithmically controlled generative system, utilizing the principle of a percussion aerophone commonly known as "tubafon". The instrument's pitch change is implemented in a similar fashion as in woodwind instruments, by altering the length of the air column, using digitally controlled, mechanized keys. Digital control of pitch enables for digital augmentations/extensions, as well as using the instrument as one of the elements of the generative system.

Aeromembranophone, together with two other instruments, is forming the AAAA project, which was the basis of my PhD thesis. (LINK)
