About this exposition

The chimeracord is a hybrid acoustic instrument synthesizing string, reed, percussion, and brass families. This mutant monochord refracts its single string through an innovative brass resonating chamber that also superposes reed, brass, percussive elements in innovative polyphony. This concatenated choir of entangled voices is amplified not only by the chimeracord’s hourglass body and vertical bell, but also by a pair of unique sympathetic resonators that add complexity, directionality, and spatialization to this entirely analog, acoustic instrument. Designed for a single performer, the chimeracord seamlessly braids a multitude of disparate acoustic families into a unitary hybrid body.
