I am drawn to the sound while I play the piano strings with my fingers randomly. It leads me to an idea of using mechanical devices to represent the control by human hands. I use vibration motors to touch and hit the music instruments and found objects with different setups of 6 timers. Those instruments and objects perform various musical compositions automatically and randomly because the vibration motors vibrate in different directions.
