Bartholomäus Traubeck Two Guitars


 Two guitars playing each other, 2014.
Guitars, amplifier, effect units, transducers, cables.



Two Guitars play each other by inducing the sound signal of one guitar into the other via transducers, and vice versa. By looping both guitars through each other a state of perfect resonance is almost achieved. But since these two industrially manifactured objects are not completely alike, the frequencies never match perfectly and subtle shifts happen in the texture of the sound.

Bartholomäus Traubeck, born in Munich, Germany in 1987.
