The Trillo.
I’m attending Metalworks Recording Institute up here in THIS IS CANADA, and in one of our classes we were tasked with making a musical instrument, one of my buddies, Aaron, made a cello/violin ordeal out of a make up box, he calls it THE TRILLO, and it sounds fantastic. I got this recording of it when I swung by his place, check it out;
My first thought when I heard it was ‘Holy shit, I need to record this at the highest sample rate possible, then slow it down for use in sound design’. The audio in the video was recorded with a Zoom H2 that was placed inside the instrument itself. After I got the video of him playing, I got some recordings of him just playing each string unfretted, I haven’t played with those yet, but they sound so awesome, I’m sure I’ll find some use for them.
Holy crap that sounds brilliant! I can imagine it being used as a backdrop in the trailer for some dark psychological horror game.
That is very cool, but… isn’t that a bridge off a real stringed instrument? Not to mention the bow? What did he make the strings out of? It does sound very nice though.
