MINI SPINSTERS

This is Wild Jane, one of a VERY limited number of MINI SISTER SPINSTERS I began work on in 2007 after a lot of interest was expressed. Click here to see a QUICKTIME MOVIE of Jane in action.


The prototype of these I made in the summer as a wedding gift for my friends Paul Stone (of the band The Chemistry Experiment) and his lovely wife Sara:

Each of the Mini Spinsters is built by yours truly from a mix of found, one-of-a-kind plastic and metal parts I've been collecting over the years as well as more commonly available hardware and special bits, so though there will be a family similarity, they'll all have a unique personality.
Each is motorized and plays a single simple, but unique rhythm, similar to those featured in those of my own songs that feature my mechanical drummer Sister Spinster.
