Hypochondric Resonators

This project is inspired by the common passion of the members about the real-time digital processing of acoustic instrumental sound.

 

The duo - Dan Gibson (modified cello) and Vladimir Vlaev (modified guitar), are also active as solo performers with the instruments developed by them.

 

In HYPOCHONDRIAC RESONATORS both artists explore the sound palettes of their instruments in an spontaneous and improvised manner. Although their individual approaches to instrumental processing are very different from each other, the common musical output impresses with its coherence and completeness.

 

Vladimir Vlaev is composer, audio artist, educator and performer of experimental music. The interest in a variety of musical languages, forms and abilities of expression provokes him to use different types of media to present his musical ideas. His passion about combining acoustic and electronic sound drives him recently to accomplish there another master project. It focuses on the design of a digital system for processing of acoustic sound in real time and furthermore implementing this system as a tool for composition and improvisation.
