HOLOTONE | Koro

 

HOLOTONE《koro》は、整数比によるジャストイントネーション、その”ジャスト”な響きを誰にでも感じてもらえるようにフォーカスした楽器です。

“koro”の名前の由来は、アメリカの現代音楽家ルー・ハリソン(Lou Harrison, 1917-2003)の楽曲からつけました。

2022-24年に制作した楽器遊具「サークルガムラン」でも採用したチューニングで、ルー・ハリソンの純正律の研究から学び、独自の音律を構築しました。

整数比が生み出す音階は、人と自然に調和し、空間全体に柔らかく染み渡るような特別な響きを持っています。

倍音列とはまた異なる、純正律ならではの音が溶け合い一体化するような美しさを体感できる、uneのスタンダードチューニングモデルです。

◼️ own tuning

Just Intonation" tuning is used.

The scale is made up of integer ratios based on prime numbers such as 2.3.5.7.11,
This creates a sound that draws out the unique overtones of the UNE.
Long sustain effect due to resonance
The sound as if the sound melds with the sound.
The result is a sound that seems to blend with the sound of the body and the natural environment.

Feel the sound waves like clouds and rainbows echoing through the space.

 

Based on this idea of the genuine scale,
Based on this idea of the genuine scale, we also incorporated various non-Western scales such as the Pythagorean scale, the Indonesian gamelan, and the Indian raga,
We have created from scratch a variety of original scales that sound different from the Do-Re-Mi scale of the Western musical scale,
The value is found in the intonation of the various melodies and unique harmonies that are produced by these scales,
Intonation, which contains various melodies and unique harmonies, is what we find valuable, and we use it in each instrument.

◼️ sound quality

We make unique adjustments to the materials we purchase from the factory to make them sound as musical instruments.

Remove as much as possible from the material any blurring or unwanted shaking of the sound that greatly affects the overall resonance and sustain.

After that, strict tuning standards are established and multiple tunings are performed,

Each piece is carefully finished with attention to detail, from the polishing and fine-tuning of the materials.

All items are handmade by hand and not mass-produced, so there may be flaws in the tuning process.
Also, for sound resonance, the product is sold without surface anodizing. We recommend cleaning the pipe surface with a cleaner.

 

◼️ after-sales-services

All UNE instruments have a six-month warranty period.

In the unlikely event of a malfunction or sound muffling, please feel free to contact us.

Aftercare is available even after the warranty period is over.

Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity when storing the instrument,

Please be careful to avoid direct contact with water.
