Critic: Patrick Rhodes

Responsibility: design, physical model, drawing
At the beginning, we started with our machine through the main nature phenomenon of sound. we inspirited by artists Jean Tinguely and decided to use movement to make sound.
According to our purpose of using recycled materials, we interested in the mechanical part from umbrella. We thought about using the umbrella part to create different mechanical hadlinng system to make different kinds of sound use different material.
As well as corporate human body with arms and legs, the user is able to coordinate both hands and feet together to creat distinct, customizable sounds and music. It is not only a music machine, but also a work of art.
