Junk Chime
The Junk Chime, a conglomeration of recycle metal objects hung for tone on a wheeled superstructure, is an audience participatory interactive sound installation. It is delivered and set up by a man with a beard and an old truck, and specially padded chopsticks are made available for all comers to explore sounds and rhythms on the device. Up to about a dozen people can play the Chime at the same time.
Long story short, it’s loud, musical and a lot of fun!
On addition to being the creator of the Junk Chime, Ben Smith is a singer, songwriter, musician, and spoken word performer and has performed at many Seattle area venues. He plays the guitar, harmonica, percussion, and electric clarinet in the Anti Fascist Marching Band. Past projects include En Route, The Plutonium Rock Trio, The Clamdiggers of Reality, Junior's Yak, and the Ravenna Civic Marching Band.
