Description:
The original intent was to create an instrument whose sound production relies on differences in materiality. The structure is a mirrored water wheel design that rotates regularly, dropping marbles on altering paddles to create sound. The first half is the control- a side of all wood paddles to provide consistency. The user is then able to alter the other half of the wheel. The first method is mechanically, physically switching the order of the materials that the ball bearings will hit. The second is through the console, where they can switch the direction that the wheel is spinning, creating an opposite descent of tones. The result is a device that can be used to experiment with multiple materials and the specific sounds that each can make.
