About
Tines & Echoes is a unique hand-crafted tuned percussion instrument created by renowned instrument designer and sound sculptor Bart Hopkin. Featuring 25 chromatically-tuned metal tines, each with a pair of sympathetic strings spanning the instrument's sound board, this pentagonal sound box produces a sharp, crisp water-drop note when plucked. However, rather than tuning the sympathetic strings to their primary tines, they are tuned randomly, causing vibrations to resonate through different string combinations bound to other tines. This results in a soft, ghostly reverberance reminiscent of the celestial wash heard when playing the undamped top octave of a piano. Meticulously sampled, Tines & Echoes offers composers and producers a distinctive and atmospheric textural element for a wide range of musical contexts.
