Tucson Sculpture Festival 2013: Anarchestra

We enjoyed seeing and hearing the Anarchestra again at the Tucson Sculpture Festival 2013. Electric Tiger Productions made a YouTube video of the event:

The Anarchestra creates all of it's sounds from scratch. It is an orchestra of handmade, welded instruments, which cover all 4 categories of noise makers -- Drums, Percussion (like marimba), Winds (horns, flutes, clarinets), and Strings. Listen to them all in a YouTube playlist.

The Anarchestra was experimenting during the festival. They built a Plate Reverb Device, using the bottle cap microphones, that they built during the CMKT 4 workshop at Heatsync hackerspace in Mesa (near Phoenix) last year.
