We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Instead of stringing 1 guitar with 6 strings, we created 6 single string guitars to be played collaboratively by 6 guitarists.

“Six String Sonics, The” is about reinventing the guitar. 

Artist Gil Kuno created “Six String Sonics, The” to rid the guitar of its ergonomic limitations and make room for more possibilities in composition. Instead of stringing one guitar with six strings, Gil created 6 single string guitars to be played collaboratively by 6 guitarists at the same time. The resulting compositions sound much more colorful than standard guitar music, as the group is capable of reaching many more chords and melodies.

We will be performing our first shows outside of Tokyo at the Fringe Festival NYC. The Performance dates are as follows:

WED 8/15 @ 21:45
FRI 8/17 @ 21:45
SAT 8/18 @ 17:15
TUE 8/21 @ 17:00
FRI 8/24 @ 19:45
SAT 8/25 @ 12:30

As we are a company with over 15 people, the ticket revenues will not cover our expenses and artist honorariums. We are hoping this Kickstarter will be a way for us to break even with these shows, and allow for us to tackle future performances.
