A brass guitar slide is dropped and dragged across two steel strings mounted to a custom body, amplified into delirious, overdriven peals of sound. The mechanism is driven by a single servo motor which pulls the rod back and forth using levers and wire. The motion is governed by the random selection of specific gestures.
