The stringed instrument I gave to Annie Clark

This.

Touch-sensitive volume strip for swells and stutters, built in insane distortion and compression, and 5 strings open-tuned for intuitive shredding and no reliance on common fingerings and chords.

I built it for her during her GROT period, during a rapid prototyping frenzy. In January I flew it out to NYC and dropped it off at Lever and Beam.

It should be interesting to see what happens once those half-crazy hands get a hold of this thing.

Do y'all think she'll dig it?
