Sound Creation: Idea creation

I've been brainstorming intruments that I would like to make/use. A series of sketches base on interactions and desired sound.

The idea Im currently going with involves a wind instrument and a digital element, A bellows is something I find interesting, as a child I rember a old ornate fire blower used to coax along a fire. the idea of a bellows powering a trumpet shape would be the primary form of my instrument Initaly I was thinking of using keys as a secondary trigger system, but then I decided it would be most excellent to bypass the need of a computer and just introduce a circuit bent electronic instrument or toy.

I've been tempted to try circut bending a activity that involves short circuting parts of a circurt designed to produce a tone resulting in a new tone often turning a wailing anoying kids musical toy into a wailing anoying modified kids toy. the apeal is creating new sounds that weren't designed by the original manufacturer, and a sence of actualy creating something which can be rare with digital instruments.


Form: one of the most crucial aspects of instrument design (especialy one that is preformed) is what guise it takes. the three sort of common states are installatons, platformesque ones like drums or piano and mobile like gutairs.

The proposed shape:
A refrence/hommage to keytar's a popular instument of the 80's that had a mini resurgence in recent years. The gutair shape is often connotated with the phalic and masculine. the keytar is like a digital parody of the swauve and cool that gets lumped onto the gutairist steriotype. * see diagram.
