Jay Crocker - BIBELOT
BIBELOT is an audio visual kinetic installation piece created by award winning free-thinking Nova Scotia composer, musician and visual artist Jay Crocker (aka JOYFULTALK). Part instrument, part installation,
BIBELOT is a set of 16 music box cells - a small mechanical orchestra performing compositions of an infinitely-changing environment that shifts to disconnect time and space through endless loops of machine, shape and sound.
