Are you a one man ensemble with not enough arms or maybe someone who’s just tired of having to duct tape your gear to the roof of your Smart Car? Well, sound designer Diego Stocco has a solution for all your gig efficiency needs. It’s called the Experibass, an acoustic totem pole of viola, violin, cello strings, and a double bass body for natural amplification. It can be played staccato, with a bow, or with various found objects (including silverware) for prepared percussion. Check out this rad video below of the inventor demoing his creation. Sounds a lot like the theme to “Lost”, doesn’t it? Imagine what Squarepusher could do with this thing. Not likely to be available at a store near you.
