You've Never Heard Instruments Like This Before

If you're a fan of the cinematic universe, this is a Great Big Story for you! These strange devices are used in big budget cinematic scores and video games like Cyberpunk 2077. A small team of dedicated engineers called @somasynths_subchannel based in Warsaw, Poland and led by sound visionary @somalabsofficial are hard at work creating beautiful hand-made musical instruments. But you wont get any old tune out of them, in fact, its quite hard to control what comes out of them most of the time. They create harsh shrieks and noises, yet theyre loved by musicians all over the world. Here's why Vlads unusual approach to music creation is catching on...
