Cranky and Plucky

Topic(s): Arts | Music

Tags: art metal+work interactive music resonance


These two large, interactive cones made of sheet steel create sounds from soothing to cacophonous. Cranky boasts 24 hand-crank music boxes pop-riveted to its exterior. Plucky looks very much like an old gramophone horn. Its four piano strings produce a deep, bass-like sound.
