Catastrophone (2023)

Why are digital instruments so often created using unsustainable materials? Is it possible to design a large digital instrument from eco-friendly materials? These are the questions I had in mind when designing Catastrophone.

​

Catastrophone is a new large digital musical instrument that is gesturally performed using mallets or hands. It is two metres wide and tall. It is created using recycled cardboard and paper, specifically collaged images of cats -- hence the name!
