A new musical instrument, inspired by harp and organ, created by Japanese artist Toko Okuda, with Ignasi Calonge and Esteban Lahoz. Toko collaborated with experimental music group Za! to investigate the various forms of playing it, hand, drum sticks, violin bow, or rosin.
Composed by 26 strings in the equilateral triangle metal frame. One side of the triangle is curved to sustain against the high tension of strings. Each string has a sound box which is a brass tube, and longitude of the tube is calculated to have the same frequency with each string when the air vives inside of the tube. The longest tube sounds C0: Do about 19hz, which is said, the frequency that human eye balls resonate. And therefore you can have a phenomenon that you could see a ghost on your eyes.
Arpasauro by Toko Okuda is part of the Xperimental Sound Lab, a free sound collection curated by Thalamus Lab.
