Version of the instrument invented by Luigi Russolo in 1913, in which the sound of the vibration of the string, when it is rubbed by the wheel moved by the player with the crank, is amplified by a snare drum with natural skins, due to the proximity that I consider that the instrument has with percussion. In addition, I use a threaded spindle to be able to modify the approximation of the wheel in contact with the string and to achieve dynamic and timbre changes.
In collaboration with the composition department headed by Prof. Caspar Johannes Walter and the percussion department headed by Prof. Christian Dierstein at the Akademie Musik Basel.
