Alas 🎂

​Hello guitarist, artist (or amigo de la música),

​Together with my friends Jost and Malte, we designed and constructed a guitar, which is basically an acoustic guitar without a resonance box, the sound comes from a software that recreates the acoustic sound in real-time. You can take a look at the guitar itself and listen to a sample on this website: https://sites.google.com/fulbrightmail.org/alasguitar/home

​Currently we are looking to improve on the software, figure out how musicians can use it in new and inventive ways, and what can be changed. I would like to invite you to a small get together for you to test it and give us feedback. Your perspective as an artist/musician would be invaluable.

​The goal for us is to use this new guitar to finance the project OpenGuitar. OpenGuitar aims to introduce children/teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds to STEM education (science, technology, engineering and math) in a creative manner.

​We are planning on having the small get together on the 5th of November at 16:00 . Please let me know if you’d be interested, we would greatly appreciate it!
