Aftershow Notes

• too high to adjust, all the wires need to be glued to be stable
• xbee data sending –> glitch!
• pulling instrument –> potential, because it’s rare. The only association people have is ringing the bell.
• people seems more related to recognizable sample sounds
• pitch changing one needs to be more subtle and gentle
• Pulling demonstration helps people understand
