From a ribbon
It starts as a straight strip of painted wood.
The ribbon stops at the end of each stage.
Painted wood instruments
Instruments
from one
ribbon.
Pick an outline, a tone and a wood colour, then hear a short synthesised sample.
A single wooden ribbon closed into a loop.
Three stages
How the ribbon
becomes an instrument.
Through a light arc
The strip is bent into a slight arc. The animation stops here so you can look at it.
Into the instrument outline
The ends meet and close into the body outline. This is a design idea, not making instructions.
Tone
Choose a warm, clear
or rhythmic tone.
Your choice changes how tense the ribbon looks and the sound sketch. You don't need sound to understand the choice.
Warm: softer tension and a low, round tone.
Sound is off. The sample is short and synthesised.
Press "Try the ribbon" or change the character while sound is on.
