The Firebird

The Firebird, Sculpture
The Firebird
A large scale sculpture, manifested from the broken, unusable, and unwanted remains of a plethora of musical instruments, now combined and woven together to form a might phoenix-like beast, which actually calls out with roars from the pipe organ pipes connected to its pump organ lungs.
14 clarinets/ 3 trombones/ 4 flutes/ 6 saxophones/ 3 guitars/ 1 violin/ 3 trumpets/ 1 french horn/ 1 timpani drum/ 1 tuba/ 1 upright piano/ 2 electric organs/ 2 pump organs/ 12 pipe organ pipes

To ‘play this piece, please pull up on the straps of the bellows and step down on the bellows slowly. You will hear a low rumbling E minor chord resonate from within the firebird. Revel in this ominous call that you have aided in creating, as you now are part of the work, giving breath to the beast.
