Making Musical Instruments -OS
Jay Havighurst has explored building musical instruments  since graduating from the Studio for Interrelated Media and Sculpture  at Massachusetts College of Art in 1980. A resident of the North Shore  of Massachusetts, he designed interactive, kinetic sound art,  including large-scale sculptures that combine abstract visual elements  with themes of rhythm and cycles inspired by nature. His work has been  exhibited in the New Directions in Sound Environments show at the  DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and at numerous galleries  and festivals. Havighurst composes music that is layered and  multi-timbral, and has accompanied several modern dance and  performance pieces. With an unusual collection of instruments from  around the world, he has a passion to share their sounds in group  music-making, drumming, and celebrations, making music participatory  and open to everyone
