Made
mainly from recycled car, bicycle and machine parts, and assorted scrap, including
an oil drum for the bass drum, frying pan claves, and a baked bean can shaker.
Turning one of the handles drives a series of chains, gears and cam-lifters,
playing a samba rhythm. The other handle drives a bicycle-sprocket wind chime.
