Every child with a bicycle has attached a playing card with a clothespin to a wheel, becoming a poet transforming his bike into a motorcycle, the sound pure music to his/her ears. There is only one step to musical bicycle sculptures. Calder or Tinguely could have taken it. John Cage might have played them.

Even an old school desk can become a sound box.

Spin the wheels, put your ear to the side of the desk and listen.
