Here are some photos of my projects. It’s a mostly random collection I’ve put together over time.
My massive Junkyard Music Box installation at Art Prize in 2012. The drum acts like a giant piano roll, playing the bells above. Or it could be played via MIDI with my keyboard. See my video page for a sample of the instrument in action.
