Trying this new way of prototyping where I make almost a caricature or fake version of the idea first. For example, what would I do if I was 7 years old and barely had any tools. It has kind of a cleansing and satisfying effect that is difficult to describe, kinda like making a sacrifice to muses or some shit like that.
So many DIY EBow rabbit holes online with most paths leading to madness and piles of misleading or unhelpful information. I finally got one working courtesy of Ralf Schreiber's excellent guide (Google it).
I've made a couple tweaks so far experimenting with off-the-shelf parts that are easier to find in the US these days.
@poor_montage thanks for the inspiration and helpful info!
A chance to encounter my piece Repair Tools (on loan from the collection of @galeries_nfs ) at:

I was hooked on Greek mythology as a kid, but never anticipated that I would someday meet @when_ulysses himself in Buffalo of all places along with some other mythology-tweaked individuals. I made this for Ulysses as a repair kit for his art or life or something after he finished grad school.
Well it's only been a few years since then and now he's providing a vital resource and hang spot for artists, musicians, poets, researchers and weirdos through his instigation/curation of events at the SALON series at @fitz_books_and_waffles .
There's something like 100 pieces in this show from a wide swath of Saloneers and I hope you enjoy attending. Group panel chat on April 15th I heard?
Quad Trzypsy is an analog environment designed for four brave spelunkers and four speakers. I have barely scratched the surface of its behaviors by myself and would love to put it in your hands.
Lastest offering of gloom, doom, sustained incoherence and sparse moments of bliss... Like everyday life but louder.
