INSTRUMENTA

Imagine standing before a centuries-old flute or recorder in a museum. With Instrumenta, you can do more than simply look , you can play!. Through an interactive interface, visitors can explore the authentic sounds of historical instruments, discovering their unique timbres, ranges, and expressive nuances directly from the museum floor.

Instrumenta is a dedicated branch of Dgtalrevival, designed to transform instrument displays into interactive sound experiences. By integrating playable sample players, curated audio catalogues, and rich documentation, Instrumenta invites visitors to engage with the living voice of heritage.

Each project begins with the same meticulous process developed by Dgtalrevival: working with museums, curators, and expert performers to record and preserve the full expressive spectrum of each instrument. These recordings are then crafted into responsive, user-friendly interfaces that allow audiences to listen, interact, and even “perform” selected tones or passages.

For institutions and researchers, Instrumenta also offers optional analytical modules, spectral visualizations, tuning deviation charts, and frequency mappings, providing a deeper understanding of each instrument’s acoustic and historical identity.

Instrumenta bridges past and present, turning museum listening into a hands-on dialogue between the visitor and the sound of history.
