feedback source. Often used in audience participation pieces. Presented on a mobile 
pedestal for use as a "dance partner". Main sound source for a 1989 recording called 
Scrapercussion Improvisations by Dan Senn. Described in detail in Systems 
 Non-Linear Instruments and Notation, Journal of New Music Research,
