Description
The story begins with the sound of a summer storm’s distant thunder and rain on the roof. This, along with the memory of the sound made by his mother’s typewriter, compels sound collector and sonic inventor Laslo Klangfarben to attempt the creation of the “Schick Machine”, a wondrous mechanical device that consumes his every waking – and dreaming – moment. Various fantastic devices including a giant motorised hurdy-gurdy, a deconstructed pipe organ and an array of spinning and thrashing metal machines that seem to be alive fill the basement workshop of our possibly mad but possibly genius inventor as he nears the completion of his giant instrument, which he believes can reconcile past and future. “Theoretically it’s sound. It’s sound, theoretically, it’s sound,” says Laslo Klangfarben.
