Carousel is a sound sculpture assembled from a keyboard stand, a looped record, and a prepared bass or a standard guitar. As the record spins, its edge bows the guitar strings, creating two parallel dissonant sounds. One drone from the bass/ guitar and another from the vinyl loop, both amplified to a speaker. The choice of record and guitar tuning is site-specific to location.
