You Must Rule, 2008

Variable dimensions

Salvaged parts and materials.  Ornamental bird, toy crocodile, toy guitar, artificial turf, artificial foliage, bamboo, mahogany, Sintra (expanded pvc), steel wire, electronics, speaker, and motor.

While perusing the “Musicians Wanted” section in a local weekly paper, I stumbled upon an ad that was clearly posted by an old friend and former band mate that I had lost contact with long ago.  The last line of the ad stated, “You must rule.”  

In the spirit of guitar effects pedals, this piece is 9v battery powered.  The battery is seated in a mortise for quick replacing.  The power switch is just below and to the right of the battery.

Uses a sound-activated sensor to trigger the event.
