Blue River
There have been attempts to redesign an electric guitar with improved playability and added functions, but they often ends up looking like obscure gadgets, and innovations turn out to be another gimmicks.
An electric guitars has not changed much since its major development in the 60s. Yet you see people are still in love with its look, sound and feel. When it’s clear that musicians today are still digging the traditional guitars, a complete revamp might not be an answer.
So how can I design an electric guitar for today? I found a clue from a quote by Nina Simone.
“How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?”
— Nina Simone
Greenland is Melting Away
Each year, Greenland loses 270 billion tons of ice as the planet warms. This blue river is one of a network of thousands at the front line of climate change. As the temperature rises, large lakes form on the surface of the ice, which in turn create a network of rivers.
Sinker Cypress with pecky cavities simulates the scenery and reflects the beautiful yet fragile nature of the planet.
This eating away of the cypress wood is caused by a fungus.
