"The
Conductor's Music"
2005
20 1/2 x 34 1/2 x 13
I've always wanted to make a true musical piece with actual working "instruments." Our
hero stands out front conducting in a random pattern thanks to the 4
cams and levers that control his strings. The 7 instruments can be seen
when you open the doors in back. This piece makes a great sound, and
most people like seeing the back as much as the front.
