“Die Fracht” is an amplified musical instrument and playset for children under five. It allows users to create sounds through physical interaction, emphasizing the connection between movement and sound. Designed for intuitive use, it encourages independent exploration without adult guidance.
The playset includes cars, trucks, cranes, and a detailed landscape embedded with sound pickups. The pickups, activated by springs, rattles, scrapers, tines, and strings, produce varied sounds in response to touch and motion. “Die Fracht” fosters hands-on exploration of sound and improvisation by combining play with sound-making. Its open-ended design challenges traditional notions of musical instruments or sculptures, enabling children to improvise performances in unstructured, creative play.
