I decided to make a device that would be similar to Benjamin Franklin’s Armonica, which was a device made out of glass bowls, rotating around an axis. These bowls were stacked like a Russian nesting doll, and played by running your fingers across them. I decided to create one for the modern age by using stepper motors, wine glasses, and rods which rubbed against the glasses. I performed in front of an audience for two nights, the second of which was recorded and available for view below.
