I wanted to buy my son a record player. I thought he would like it. I
thought it would be good for coordination, learning to not scratch the
records. I saw some were going to be sold at auction. I went to bid on
one. They would only sell me the whole pallet. I bought 35 for the
minimum bid of $5. I also went home with a pallet of 16 mm projectors
and a few film strip projectors.
I was getting ready for The Vegas NCECA and I needed some cases for
slide projectors. I took the classroom record player guts out of their
cases and used the cases for shipping slide projectors. I kept some
parts from the record players. Somehow I got the idea of using three
tone arms on one player. Until I got the right music the piece was a
joke. Then I tried Willies Stardust Side A. It sounds great no matter
where you set the needles. Its been sitting around, and I finally have
reworked the piece, its on a motion detector and has three headphones
now. Once you stop laughing you see how his music, a series of short
phrases play off each other setting up webs of meaning. I have a bit of
audio/ video clip of it before being finished at:

at an opening at the Bentley Gallery Jan 7. I expect to be there also.

This set my imagination going; is this for listening to three-part harmony?
Or to hear different instruments perform the same song.....
