A sound as mixture of vibration of wood, metal, skins and electrical amplification.
Recovering of vibrant modules of the storical/ethnical tradition with modern usability.
Vibrant parts (wood, skin and metal) couple to create mechanical filters to mix with electronics.
Non tempered instruments for a free sound rich in portamento, glissato, tremolo...
We have created instruments for violinist, pianists, djs.
Compact and strong violin working on the principle of transverse flute where the bridge shakes the membrane skin.
The bridge shakes the skin membranes that induce the vibration in the wooden resonator and the iron stick.
The sound is transmitted to the bamboo cylinder where a piezo microphone, coupled to the resonator, is dumped by wax and leads to a optimal sound amplification.
Phylological research of iranian Kamancheh from ancient illustrations. Optimal sound duration.
The resonator develops the idea of dipole emission where four slits start from the bridge and are tuned for each string. The skins recover the vibrations to substain sound duration.
Keyboard without keys where each finger corresponds to a note and allows the typical effects of the violin like glissato and tremolo.
Composition for mechanical music where each note is a mixture of percussive and melodic with important constraints on dynamics and strong portamento.
Preamplifiers for microphones piezo used in the different instruments and motors drivers.
Mechanical amplifier where the sound is generated by motor rotation located in sensitive places in the box cage.
Everybody contributes with his own knowledge, things to know and to do are many..
Physics might look for an application, why not extend it with the eternal passion for music?
Constantly seeking for the clean sound, analogical mechanics and new musical forms.
Polimusician and deep expert in evolution of string instruments along the centuries, passionate about compositions from pre-barok to contemporary music and folk.
We are a small team of music passionate that develop new form of sound creating new instuments that follows the criteria of purity and non temperament.
We put in our instruments the sounds that hit our attention.
SuggestReferences from whom has tried viduì or partecipate to its develop.
"Viudì allowed to phylologically recreate ancient instruments and lost sounds."
"No-key-board is on the way to overcome the laws of temperament and live the pianist the freedom the develop a polyphony rich in within tones, glissati and tremoli."
"Viudì recreates a uinion between new electronics to allow technologies to a broader audiece."
We recover an ambiental expressivity winning the limits of temperament.
We perform different manufacturing, repair and develop instruments, audio consultancy.
Customization is the most important characteristic.
Propose and exchange ideasWe are interested in getting in touch with music passionate that want to contribute in developing the proejct.
