Sound of invention |
| Abstract |
"The sound of invention explores the wild imagination of a unique creative genius ... Trimpin experiments with the renowned Kronos Quartet on a variety of toy and homemade instruments; uses giant marimbas and xylophones to create music from earthquake data; designs a 'perpetual motion' machine in a glass foundry; and builds a 60-foot tower of self-tuning electric guitars."--Container. |
