WJ Kington says: "I gave a two-and-a-half year old a box and told him to DESTROY it! I recorded the action and made electronic music, entirely derived from the incident. The music is enjoyable, both romping and angelic. Hope you like."
200701151612In this piece, Talin Box Destroyer was given a cardboard box and a packet of rubber bands. All the sounds in this piece resulted from the box being tapped, kicked, slammed with a mallet, filled with toys and shaken, rubber bands being strung across it (luckily only I and Talin's mum Laura were injured, and soon decided the rubber bands were just too dangerous for Talin) and eventually torn to pieces.
