ABOUT
Joel Illerhag is a student at the Advanced Post Graduate Diploma project (Solistlinjen) at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen.
He is working on a project called The Electromagnetically-Prepared Double Bass with 39 sympathetic strings (with the new name “The Swedish Harp Bass”).
The aim of this project is to produce acoustic sound from a musical instrument without loudspeakers using electromagnets.
The electromagnets can be controlled externally via audio, MIDI, and motion sensors. The project includes 3D design, electronics, music, and instrument-building in carbon fiber. Joel wants to be at the forefront of a new musical expression that opens up new musical shapes and ways of thinking about compositions while pursuing his original mission of music: speaking to the hearts of people.
