Anyone encountering this six foot spider-shaped sound sculpture are encouraged to touch the strings. Loud and wonderful sounds will result. He/she is encouraged to move through the sculpture to the back end where the strings are tuned in microtonal intervals. This is symbolic of yielding to temptation and crossing the line to the “dark side”. More than one participant can jam on it at the same time, producing both tonal and atonal sounds.
