The workshop<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every instrument starts with a piece of wood<\/em> \u2013 and the question of how it wants to sound.<\/h2>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n \t\t\t

As a drummer and Soundbastl, I don\u2019t just want to play \u2013 I want to understand where the sound comes from. That\u2019s why my workshop builds instruments from the ground up: drums from local woods like apple, walnut and pine \u2013 and instruments that combine an acoustic feel with digital sound processing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Every piece is one of a kind: built, discarded, rethought \u2013 until wood, craft and sound fit together.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Lousa is Styrian for ears \u2013 and a ribbon microphone made of wood. Not only the housing but also parts of the motor are built from wood. The prototype already sounds good; the next version is currently being carved from a single piece on the CNC mill.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
