Toast by Phil Gamblen

TOAST is an acoustic sculptural installation commission by the Perth Public Art Foundation.

 

With a physical presence designed to contrast the urban soundscape, TOAST offers the enquirer an ‘orchestra of sound’ through individual microcontroller channels.

 

As a sound-producing kinetic artwork, TOAST consists of 40 identically hand-made mechanisms, each containing a spoon that repeatedly taps a wine glass producing a series of chinking ‘sounds.’
