Commerce Street Studio, Tacoma

Fayfer, September 1992

Constructed from PVC, suspended
scrap resonator, wooden dowels, steel
rod, nylon line and threaded piezos.
Performed by bowing stem and
strings, pulling dowels through
eyeloops on pvc posts.
Bowing produces sounds according
to resonance of pewter cabbage leaf.
Pulling dowels produces
whistling (fayfer) sounds.
Rotating stem produces pitched
plucked sounds tuned by moving
thread piezo up and down
nylon lines.
