An Electro-Acoustic Instrument Made Out of an Old Singer Sewing Machine
Gabriel Bonnin, aka Singer Sound System, plays an electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy that’s driven by an old Singer sewing machine pedal.
My instrument is an electro-acoustic hurdy-gurdy. I just removed the crank and use a Singer machine to drive it :-) It is equipped with four integrated microphones that allow me to process the sound live, especially in Ableton Live.
Some of his most popular recent covers include the Doctor Who theme1:
And Enter Sandman by Metallica:
Oh and Daft Punk!
You can find his stuff on YouTube and Instagram.
- One commenter on Instagram remarked: “This sounds more like the Dr Who theme than the Dr who theme does”.↩
