Description

Small wooden loom/frames with patterns woven using speaker wire. The speaker wire attaches to small speakers integrated within the woven design. Each frame connects to a small amplifier that plays a downloadable composition. Five design variations (10 of each type) each have a coinciding composition written by composer and sound artist Justin West. The pieces also function recreationally for any music.
