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 experimented with 3D printing a dual mouthpiece -- however, the experiment did not work:

There is a Spotify Anarchestra playlist on Facebook.
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.
Finally, a new musical instrument -- Roarick -- developed at the Anarchestra complex during the Tucson Sculpture Festival 2013:

UPDATE 2016:
The Anarchestra got on the front cover of the Tucson Weekly, July 21, 2016.
Also, the Anarchestra instruments were used by Spanish composer Roque Baños to make the musical score for the major movie Don't Breathe.
Flashback: Before the Sculpture Festivals, the Anarchestra visited Pablo Nenflidio at the ASU Art Museum in Tempe, Arizona in 2009.
