The StringStation integrates 40 steel strings with extensive computer control over audio effects, mixing, tuning and automation. It uncovers a powerful new range of symphonic 3D sound, color and tone allowing the live layering of 12 independant groups of strings under complete tactile control of the performer... all with the exquisite expressive 3D nuance of live steel strings. It further evolves emerging formats of multi-channel Surround Sound production with sophisticated research into Digital Sound Modeling. It opens doors few thought were there.

Building this instrument past this current mockup model requires talented people and financial allies. This project seeks those inspired by human artistry and endeavor to help underwrite the instruments finished construction. It will be an enriching experience for all involved as it leaves an enduring legacy into the future of music and technology. I hope to create rewarding jobs for a group of talented artisans when the StringStation takes it's next step forward.

... May these ideas spark like-minded spirits to join in and push through known boundaries of music... and into the future.
