However, what we chose to do was to start by thinking about different ways to approach the guitar. What makes a guitar? We quickly agreed that the strings ate an important part f a guitar. Maybe the most important thing. Because a guitar without strings – is that even a guitar? And how would you produce the sounds that make sweet music without them?
Okay, so now we have the strings.. What else?

The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the hollow body of the guitar; the resonating chamber. So we needed that too. ‘Cause we wanted to make an instrument that actually works.

Then we thought about society. What do we see out there in the world today? We looked towards the music industry and what caught our attention was the culture of the MTV One Hit Wonders. What is this new phenomenon, where MTV Push(es)2 one hopeful singer to the top of the lists one month, and in the next they have forgotten all about them and moved on to the next? What about their “Cover of the Month”, where people who (some of them) can sing, but not write texts, so here they have a change to get on TV anyway and for at least a couple of seconds everyday that month.

What is my point with all of this? I guess it’s just to let you in on how many artists (products) are being produced today with the purpose of a quick hit.

And then the hard part comes up; how can they follow up the big success of their first single with so little talent? Most of them just can’t and they fade into oblivion.

To help the young stars take the pressure off the difficult hit no. 2 (and also to make a point), we decided to make the resonance camber in ice. This way, they can only record that one hit, and then the instrument simply will not work anymore.

Instead of the long, fretted neck, onto which the strings are attached, we constructed a curved piece of wood nailed on top of a wooden foot. We laser cutted holes for the strings and engraved a few graphic, decorative lines. We attached the strings with eyebolts so we would be able to tune our guitar.

Then we started on the resonance chamber – the ice bucket. We used two buckets, a large and an extra large. (And this part caused us a lot of problems.) We had to build a system where the top bucket wouldn’t touch the bottom of the bottom bucket to create a base of ice. What we hadn’t thought of was that the top bucket of course would float when we would poor in the water between the two. I ran back and forth to get heavy kitchen supply (mainly pots and pans) to put in the top bucket to hold it down. Little did it help. Then I remembered duct tape, which is always a savior. I taped the top bucket onto the bottom bucket in the correct height, to prevent it from floating too much when adding water the second time. It worked! We were now on our way to get the perfect temporary resonance chamber. It just had to rest in the freezer over night.
