Ahhhh. This is the most complicated instrument I’ve ever built. It’s comprised of a central, massive, rotating steel drum that triggers the bells above to play as it turns. It can also be played via midi triggers from my keyboard. It was built for the ArtPrize competition in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2012.
This is one of my fun junkyard or toolbox instruments. Made entirely of discarded workshop tools that should be familiar to anyone. I’m playing Ode to Joy.
