Project Overview
This project is an instrument that transforms the 39 letters of the Armenian alphabet into melodies, blending cultural heritage with sound design. It features two parts: one inspired by the Armenian duduk, a traditional wind instrument, and the other by a modern MIDI controller.Each letter is assigned a natural sound, like whistling or wind, which can be played by blowing into the duduk-inspired section. The MIDI-inspired component allows further interaction, bridging tradition with modern technology.The instrument reflects the significance of the Armenian language, created in 405 CE by Mesrop Mashtots, an Armenian linguist and monk, to preserve a nation's identity. By turning the alphabet into music, this project reimagines the language through a new lens, offering a way to keep its memory alive while sharing its unique beauty with the world.
