Unusual instruments for Sam Underwood and Graham Dunning

Plane Structure was commissioned by music artists Graham Dunning and Sam Underwood to make these instruments for their project Connected Devices. The MDF prototypes were then made up into a set of modular instruments, each finished with high pressure laminate. The instruments made their debut at Supersonic Festival.
