Creating fine musical instruments is an artform in itself. Digi-Baby is designed to convey those who encounter it – both aesthetically and musically – to another realm. As an evolution of Based Upon’s signature Twist sculpture, this piano derives its dramatic form from a single pattern repeated throughout our universe. The natural spiral can be found at both minute and colossal scales, from the florets of a sunflower to the formations of galaxies.

 

Digi-Baby’s tri- oval top twists gracefully away from its base to unveil a self- playing electronic piano.

The top is crafted using Based Upon’s unique Tramazite material, inspired by studies of the natural world, seemingly encapsulating profound movements of the cosmos or the depths of an ocean.
