Fish Fried Rice is the name of our industrial music group. For this project, each member created an instrument to fit this aesthetic theme -- raw, handmade, and unpolished. As well, each instrument's sound was meant to reflect that of industry -- loud, metallic, and unnatural. 

Kody: 

Landon: My project was a bench that is played like a harp. Made out of a wooden slab and the legs of an elementary school desk. With tuning begs embedded into the wood and strings attached to the legs. 

Rajveer: Sound Board is an interactive percussion music generator that includes both industrial and natural sounds (generated by percussing hand-made objects). The display included clay pots, wood, spray paint cans, and many other items. The main goal of this instrument was to represent industrial sounds while also adding a twist by incorporating a natural element. Taking inspiration from Industrial Music, I decided to add electronic beats to the sounds recorded from the sound board to make it sound "musical." A bass guitar and a piano were among the electronic instruments.

Jere: My instrument is heavily based on the alphorn. It is made of three different sizes of PVC tubing, a tuba mouthpiece and a large sheet HDPE(high density poly ethylene) formed into the bell of the instrument. There is no attachment between the second and third tubes so the pitch can be changed by sliding the tube, similar to a trombone.
