the Bristophone

Bristophe (Brice Catherin and Christophe Schweizer),
concept, engineering and interpretation;

After having declared it could play all the instruments of the world, and, indeed, after having played the cello, the double bass, the trombone, the tuba, the sousaphone, the alphorn, the clarinet, the recorders, the guitar, the erhu, the piano, the harpsichord, the clavichord, the church organ, the electronic, the percussions, toys and objects, buildings, and much more that I forgot, Bristophe decided to climb a step and build its own instrument. The bristophone shall be a string instrument, a wind, a keyboard, a percussion, with, of course, electronic options. It shall be built partly with traditional craftsmanship techniques, and partly with an experimental craftsmanship. It shall be noble and shall include salvaged materials. It shall stand at a place but shall be able to sound in other places. It shall be gigantic and refined at the same time. The music of the bristophone shall be enchanting and bewitching.
