description. The aim of this project was to create an electro-mechanical machine that generates sound by integrating design and technology. Research was conducted and the team formulated specifications. The project evolved from initial requirements to a fully formed idea of two instruments being played simultaneously. In the final design, chimes provide a melodic sound, while the cymbal generates a continuous background noise. Chymbal is a design that visually harnesses the beauty of the functionality of the machine; it is musical and contained.
