Playing Instruments Made From Ice

  • Tim Linhart was sculpting ice in Colorado when he decided to try something new: creating a giant, frozen violin. When a friend jokingly asked how Tim thought his violin would sound, it sparked an idea. Why not make an entire, functional orchestra out of ice? That was 21 years ago. These days, Tim is based in Sweden and gathers his icy ensembles to play in cosmic igloos. Grab a seat, and best don’t forget your coat.

    I looked it up, because I was so curious about how important the material of a string instrument impacts its sound. This article explains a little about how much the sound of a violin in particular relies on its shape and material: www.tms.org/pubs/journals/jom/0708/roncone-0708.html. Very cool stuff, learned something new. As much as I hate the cold, hearing these instruments live would be an amazing experience!

  • @justinharris5137
    @justinharris5137 Před 4 lety +1

    I wonder if there's a way to create a clear-through coating onto the ice that would resist the cold temperatures from leaving the instruments, but if so probably just for the temperature fluctuations since ice can still crack and cause the instrument to sound off in pitch. I recommend this man giving it time to research into there being any physical form of cold compression material. I would love to work with this guy

    I'm guessing you can't play these instruments very fast. If you have to be at a temperature where the instrument won't melt, then your fingers will be sluggish and numb. Once you get acclimated to the temperature your fingers will gain back some of the speed they lost.
