Gabba-Gabba: Sound Artist Bound for Mysterious Realms
Gabba-Gabba is an Urbanite living in the Kapital under the shadow of the University. He thrives in the perpetual twilight of his city, where nightclubs and diskoteques operate around the clock. Gabba is a talented artist of Sound and Sonix, highly sought after in this vibrant scene. However, his recent passion project has been met with contempt from his peers—until it caught the attention of a mysterious Entity of unknown lore, which will take him to a place never seen by mortal oddling eyes. With the support of his mentor Professor Kullun, Gabba's journey into the unknown is about to begin.
The Land of Odd
Gabba-Gabba exists in the richly imagined Land of Odd, a world inspired by Brian Froud's Podlings from The Dark Crystal. Unlike the earthy tones of Podlings, the Oddlings celebrate a kaleidoscope of colors and diverse personalities. The Land is home to diverse communities—from Desert-dwellers to Underwolders, Aeyriekin to Swamplings, Oceanics to Forestkind—each with their own cultures, beliefs, and traditions.
The Craft
Each Gabba-Gabba marionette is handmade in Australia by The Squeaking Tribe, featuring a sculpted clay head with hand-painted details, a unique Urbanite costume made from specialty fabrics and collected materials, and professional 6-string marionette controls. Standing 25cm tall (60cm when strung) and weighing 0.6kg, each piece is unique with its own story told through carefully chosen textiles, jewelry, and distinctive details.
