CHIMERA// from sound sculpture to ectroacustic instrument

STEFANO GIORGI's Yaybahar is an instrument created in 2016, which uses very long springs suspended between the strings of a cello and a resonator drum. It is capable of acoustically producing the characteristic sounds of a synthesizer. It was initially built as a variation of the instrument invented by Turkish musician Görkem Sen, to explore the potential of harmonics and frequency overlap. It is now becoming Chimera, a cross between a cello, percussion, and spring reverb.
