Scrapercussion #7

August 1988 

Resonant scrap connected along a continuum of 3/16"; steel rod which travels through 
a pvc chassis for support. May be played with mallets, audience-tossed coins, or as a 
feedback source. Often used in audience participation pieces. Presented on a mobile 
pedestal for use as a "dance partner". Main sound source for a 1989 recording called 
Scrapercussion Improvisations by Dan Senn. Described in detail in 
Systems for Non-Linear Instruments and Notation, Journal of New Music Research, 
September, Amsterdam, Holland, 1994. Currently part of the Sylvia Smith Archives 
at the University of Akron, Ohio.
