tHis sound sculpture, made completely out of bicycle parts, came to be through an evolutionary mechanical brainstorm. tHe original idea of a "bike orchestra", had involved multiple persons on their bikes to produce normal "bike-like" sounds that combined to form an orchestra of noise. sEemingly, this turned to the idea of creating instruments out of bicycle parts, instead of merely making noise with full bikes. sOmewhere along the way, the bicycle instruments evolved into one playable peice, which came together as we combined our bike parts. sOon the object we had created was noticed to be "wearable". wE all don it and dance with it and partake in an aura of metal noise.

tHe most interesting thing about the sound sculpture is its performance and its interactivity with the audience. sPin. yO.
