DGTALREVIVAL
MUSICAL HERITAGE THROUGH THE LENS OF CONTEPORARY TECHNOLOGY
DGTALREVIVAL represents a synthesis of musical heritage, genres, art forms, and communities. We achieve this by literally breathing new life into historical instruments. In doing so, the listener is immersed in past sounds while offering a modern experience of timeless musical beauty. We revive historical instruments and recreate them digitally for wind controllers using sampling techniques.
Richard Haka Flute
Our first edition focuses on the Richard Haka Flute. Haka was a prominent woodwind and instrument maker active in Amsterdam in the 17th century. He is known for contributing to developing woodwind instruments when Amsterdam was a centre for musical innovation and craftsmanship. Haka's instruments were valued for their quality, timbre, and technical capabilities, which set them apart from his contemporaries.
