Bicycle-Built Instrument Wins Guthman Competition
Montreal artist Lateef Martin crafts a unique instrument, the Lethelium, using bicycle parts and everyday materials. This hybrid creation, featuring 24 strings over two octaves, blends sounds from a dulcimer and a harp. Martin, head of Miscellaneous Studios, earned a finalist spot in the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition. His journey began while volunteering at a bike shop, experimenting with bike wheels and guitar strings. The Lethelium, with piano-like tuning gears, can be played in various ways. Martins work has inspired his zombie apocalypse comic and video game, and he now shares his instrument with others, aiming to inspire young creators.
