On my original Mr. Oddball piece, I thought maybe I could use the movement of the strings to make decorative items, on the stage, turn around. With a history of sometimes having ambition end in frustration, I decided to focus solely on the motion of the figure. So when I had this idea of a figure operating some sort of time machine, I thought, finally, I had a chance to use the idea to make the dials turn around. The time machine idea was way too specific, and I got so caught up with all the nomenclature, that I finally decided to make it a generic machine instead. Still cool though.

Note (11/24/04): Later on, I actually did do a time machine piece: "Time Machine."
