Marcelophone
installation 2014
Wink to Marcel Duchamp, this tridimensional ready-made is a percussive instrument, surprising and playful. It’s an instrument in suspension composed by a bicycle wheel, placed on top of a set up of 20 bells installed on a bootle rack. With simple sticks, the spect’actor can play it according to his inspiration. An interactive system transforms and amplifies the sound in real time. At a time the Marcelophone sounds like an Indonesian Gamelan, later we enter in a cosmic atmosphere.The Marcelophone brings the apprentice musician in a captivating journey.
