Elevator Music 17
Peter Edwards: Specter

Elevator Music 17 features a new sound- and light-based sculpture by sound artist and instrument builder Peter Edwards. Describing himself as a “self-taught electrical engineer,” Edwards’s atypical approach to electronics has lead to a unique and highly personalized outpouring of fantastical instruments. His sonic inventions — from a synthesizer kit designed to be assembled and modified by its users, to Speak and Spell electronic toys with rearranged circuitry — have been commissioned and played by a diverse set of musicians and composers. Regularly performing regionally and internationally, Edwards shares his enthusiasm and idiosyncratic talents in participatory workshops and is a frequent contributor to the D.I.Y. enthusiast magazine Make.
