Title takes you there. Beautiful sample of this obnoxiously putrid beast on site. "Savart'’s Wheel, designed by Bart Hopkin, is widely acclaimed for the fact that it makes the most obtrusive, obnoxious and irritating sound imaginable. The instrument is made up of a series of disks of graduated size mounted on a motorized spindle. The exposed outer edge of each disk is lined with ridged material, with ridges spaced about 1/8 inch apart. As the spindle rotates, the player holds a sort of plectrum against the ridges as they rotate past, producing some number of ridge-bumps against the plectrum per second. That frequency is the frequency you hear; it is what provides the pitch." Via Peter Grenader on AH.
Interesting piece. According to the caption that's a MIDI ribbon controller based on the Kurzweil Expression mate. Shot by royce. "This is a somewhat customized midi controller based on the kurzweil expressionmate. i used to play violin, and especially loved string quartets, so i wanted to have a "fingerboard" for glissando and vibrato effects."
