My music tower is based on one of my favorite songs called “Maggot Brain” by Funkadelic. The song goes through a series of different, unique, mismatched progressions, which happen to all make sense. The song seems like it would be made by someone out of this world, which gave me the inspiration to make a space-like, but also a very extravagant tower, with the musicians being able to choose where they want to play, depending on how they want their songs to sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found it difficult to figure out what the correct cutting surfaces would be, but after a lot of trial and error. I was able to cut the object correctly, use its modular nature to work on a portion of the object, and replicate the cutout patterns for the entire object, as shown below in multiple images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
