  1987
• piandemonium
  (pi-an'-de-mo'-ne-um)
  A (semi)automatic musical (?) instrument, using the "harp" artifact
  as a starting point. No finished examples of this instrument, which
  was originally developed for the 1989 Festival of the Swamps,
  exist. The instrument incorporates electronic controls which play
  the instrument, using sensors to gain feedback from the
  environment (such as a photocell). At the same time, it is always
  possible to play the harp manually, either through the electronics
  or by plucking or pounding the strings. The ideal piandemonium is
  one constructed entirely from discarded or
  "surplus" parts and objects.
