[Veloncell Marcel]
The Veloncell Marcel is a hommage-copy of Duchamp’s famous Bicycle Wheel. The spokes of the wheel on the kitchen stool (and anything on the fork) are amplified through a contact microphone on the hub.

[Marcel Duchamp: Bycycle Wheel 1913]
Marcel Duchamp: Bycycle Wheel, an early "ready-made" from 1913, this version at Moma, New York.
[Veloncell, closeup with bow] My copy of Duchamp's readymade (made 80 years later), has a tyre and a dynamo, for the electrical sound (and light!) (thus the first "electric" instrument that I have made).

Below it's exhibited as an interactive soundsculpture - it can also be played as an instrument.

[The Veloncell, with children]
The Veloncell Marcel played by a child at the Fylkingen exhibition Lydbilleder V (or Sound as Art as Sound) at Museet for Samtidskunst, Roskilde, denmark, 1999.
