Strained Wire + Garotte

The Strained Wire + Garotte was created using 4 metre lengths of wire and nylon line trimmer stretched tightly over a bridge and sound board. This was struck, picked, hit with a mallet, bowed and generally tortured. A tuning turnbuckle was incorporated to allow tuning of the instrument.

​The strained wire was then recorded using contact and stereo microphones.

This video opposite shows how we made it:

Plucked-Bowed-Mallet plays in tune over 5 octaves.

Play it as a bass or guitar, deep harp or zither, rhythm, feel or melody, choose between a metal wound string sound or the plastic nylon string of the line trimmer.

​The Wilberforce Atmospheres and Garotte offer soundscapes, cinematic drones and impacts and ragged textures. Patches are customisable with Modwheel's signature additional layers and with a range of effects for even more tightening and torturing.
