Maker Lounge , Saturday 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Location:   Steampunk   

I play a guitar that's made out of an antique SHOVEL. (Dig it!) I loop, drum on the shovel body, play the strings with a slide, and sing through a bullhorn. (Folktronica!) My friend and I worked together to build it and make it sing. I even played it for my friends' wedding aboard the Neverwas Haul (Victorian spaceship) at Maker Faire last year!

About the Maker(s)

Isaac Frankle "Not just a guitarist, singer, and lyricist but a percussionist, harmonica player, instrument inventor, artist/scientist, and sound sculptor ... exploring the boundless nature of Earth's eclectic music and perhaps introducing us to the future of it, as well. This one-man dimension-hopping troubadour is nothing less than astonishing!"
--Jonathan Siegel, San Francisco's 'Poetry Mission'
