During this year stay at the Tsarino art-residency in Bulgaria I wanted to experiment building with natural construction materials. I used the ancient adobe technique to make a loudspeaker for a sound performance.
First it took me quite some time to find the wright type of consistancy of clay and earth. I made a clay/mud/straw brick to learn about the porpotions between using clay/mud and straw.
Then I made the skeleton with found pieces of wood and branches.
For the electric sound equipment, small amp, loudspeakers, keyboard and loop-pedal I used rechargable batteries. I charged my 9v batteries with a self-made solarcharger made out of solarcells from garden lights.
