Folktek launched in October the very interesting experimental instrument Resonant Garden. One problem during this announcement, there was no sound demos available. They rectified today and released 8 different sound demos where you receive a first look at some of sound possibilities. Also after this new sound demos, I’m impressed by this instrument and pretty sure it’s a super powerful sound design tool.
The Resonant Garden is an acoustic-electronic hybrid designed to create anything from beats and oddities to dense sound scapes. From its inception in 2006, the original garden has gone through many changes and refinements; micro garden, luminist garden and illuminist garden and finally this latest and likely final version.
The garden essentially utilizes three Alter circuits but each equipped with a mic pre-amp, and 4 garden (stringed) panels for generating acoustics. By plucking, rubbing, tapping or even bowing, those micro-acoustic sounds become amplified and effected by the Alter in any number of ways. In essence, the garden is a large microphone designed to pick up vibrations.
The Resonant Garden will be available for $999 USD.
