Beautiful and Bizarre Musical Machines



Bichopalo is an artist based in Valencia, Spain. He makes gorgeous retro-futuristic musical instruments out of a variety of natural and manmade objects. The combinations are a delight to see, and they sound nice, too. This machine above is called “THE PLANTYFLUTESIZER”.

Still in progress, I can’t really tell how many hours, days and months I've spent working on this. The entire structure is a combination of different instruments but the main one is a sort of sequencer with 8 notes limit that can be combinated on different patterns. An electric impulse actives a motor with an arm connected that hits a sensor running a pre-recorded note.
There’s a lot to speak about this but on this particular post the real rockstars are my little partners: Pico and Verdi.
This two little fellas have been with me from a while, making me laught and giving me incredible presents every single day.



The second one is called "invisible forces." See more of Bichopalo's work at Instagram. -via Boing Boing

James Roe, merging the two sinks would not be sanitary. When I had a business the health department demanded separate sinks for hand washing and any other washing.

As for combing the shower and toilet areas, that's done all the time in RVs and trailers.

Have to follow-up my last comment which wasn't intended to put down James Roe.

Don't we all wash our hands, lettuce, dishes, auto parts and such in the kitchen sink?

However, I don't know if an apartment could meet code if it had only one sink.

Showering above the toilet has never appealed to me.
It's also too gross to brush your teeth in the same sink you wash the dishes in.

Looks like he made the place habitable, but is it "livable"?
