Most musicians look at an instrument and want to learn how to play it.
But Ben Stanko 01 looks at an instrument and plans on constructing it himself. He came up with his own design for the Harmonics Guitar, based on composer Glenn Branca s original concept. It has a third bridge that picks up the harmonics and is played with a pick and steel slide. The idea for the Beer-Can Organ came from Professor Fred Ellis s Musical Acoustics class. During a demonstration, Ellis showed how blowing air between two empty aluminum cans creates music.
