Cyclecide\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s alter-bike mechanics have created an interactive kinetic sculpture that resembles a windmill, is pedaled by one rider, and creates music. We are calling this machine \u00e2\u20ac\u009dThe Axe Grinder!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Axe Grinder fuses together recycled urban detritus in both visual and audible manifestations. As people pedal, they will control multiple instruments that combine into a unified harmonic experience. Every revolution causes windmill-like blades on top of the tower to turn and play four guitars, all tuned to play particular chords. <\/span>Further development will also allow cyclists inside the tower to pedal a series of mechanized percussion instruments. The outside of The Axe Grinder will include bicyclists pedaling a ring that goes around the derrick operating as a turntable for a variety of melodic instruments such as wash boards and xylophones.<\/span>The resulting whirling tower of instruments will creates music controlled by the tempo of the cyclists. As the riders pedal, they will be adding a harmonic cacophony to our pedal-powered midway that we are calling Bike-ophony.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
