making. From cigar box guitars, to unique instruments from the imagination. He guides inventors to come up with an idea, figure out how to make it and with his guidance they will attempt to create a unique musical/sound instrument. Bill’s favorite approach is creating instruments that incorporate building and found objects. Often a little noisy and always fun. When possible the group will make individual graphic scores and conduct the others in how to play creative and inventive music.
Art making, music making and some carpentry. What could be more fun.
