The main things we accomplished today were making a cardboard model of out bike, working out how the gears would fit on the bike, attaching the third wheel to the frame, and general aesthetical decisions.  am also building the first version of the music box itself, using a cardboard tube, some metal piping and bicycle spokes. The pitches of the note palate and the angle of the metal pipe is a bit of a challenge, but I know how to work it out.

For the aesthetics of the bike, the whole group is bringing ideas to the table. The people who designed the gears that will turn the music box started a gear-y, steampunk theme to the bike, and with the physical addition of the third wheel today, I am liking that theme more and more. Jack and Dylan are planning on adding more gears as decorations. I also want to incorporate a surreal kind of style with a lot of overlapping strings. Some of the strings would be functional (including sympathetic strings), and some would be purely decorative. I will post video that inspired me for this as a predecessor.
