A simple interactive piece.|
Two threaded rods with found 
resonators attached above and below are 
separated by a thin sound absorbant  wire 
to create a natural stereo field. As patrons lift
washers weighted with paper wings up the steel
rods (Frances Senn, patron) and release them,
the "moths flutter" downward creating rhythms
that are amplified by the scrap resonators.
Clicking rhythms are controlled by the 
turning of the rods and the 
off-balancing of the 
washers.
