Production Technology: We started with sketching on paper and implementation thoughts with digital sketching and got a basic look. By doing several reforms and trying to optimize the final design, we use catia software to make sure Black hole was producible. After rendering with keyshot software, we got to the final look. We created the video with final cut pro software and compose a song especially for this project.
Design Challenge: Broader research to optimize early ideas is always a hard way. Of course, it is acceptable that there is always need greater hardness and effort to be optimized and matured.
Research: The design of the guitar has hitherto been more limited to simple geometric volumes and fixed graphics on its body. While we thought that the appearance of the guitar would not be limited to the silent face no more. Considering the technology of the day, the smaller and lighter electrical parts that use in mobile phones as you see. We decided to integrate the technology of the day with a unique design of 80s music styles based on our experiences.
Inspiration: Our two-person design team, which has 10 years of product design experience and 19 years of electric guitar playing, composed and performed in rock and metal styles, has gained experience in finding the appropriate reasons for combining these experiences. In Black hole, we have inspired hard rock and heavy metal & thrash metal styles, especially those like motorhead, metallica and slayer, and guitars such as jackson kelly jackson randy rhodes and gibson explorer and james hetfield’s guitar signatures.
Project Duration: This project started in November 2018 until March 2019, in Tehran Iran
Operation Flow: The idea of the display on the fretboard has several modes:
Learning, Practicing, Performing,
In learning mode, musician can learn guitar lessons that especially designed for the Black hole. They can save data in guitar's memory and learn it from the display. In practice mode, musician can practice guitar patterns. In performing mode, Imagine when the music riffs & solos playing on stage, the guitar displays images, associated with music sensation and shows the excitement inside it on display.
