Linking disparate ideas and building musical sculptures out of trash video reflection

I think what Felix Thorn had done is something very unique. To be able to put together unwanted or forgotten items and turn them into something functional is already amazing enough, but he takes it further by programming them to produce such beautiful and uncommon sounds. What makes his contraption special is that even without seeing it, by just listening to it, one can still feel the creativity behind. Open your eyes and it adds to the "wow" factor. This shows how creativity can be felt and made to be felt from all of our senses. Before, creativity to me has always been more of a visual aspect. I have learnt that it can come in different forms. Another thing that I found interesting is how Thorn pays so much attention to the little details like the less audible and dull sounds. They may seem like nothing at first, but they do bring in the harmony together. Using the contrast of acoustic and digital is the main factor that contributes to this machine's uniqueness. They are two worlds apart, yet they were manipulated in a way to work well together. That is an example of Juxtaposition.
