INSTRUCTIONS: Create a bouquet of sound.

Le Bouquet De Bonne
This started off as many things do: One single thought.

This thought and our over all product blossomed, not quickly, but over a long period of time only after many trips to various thrift stores, craft stores & the excavating & relocation of one potted plant from my side-table.

I suppose that the mission here could have been interpreted in any way one would want to go, but the simplest is what we did and in turn.. the simplest turned out to be quite difficult.

We were able to collect various supplies including 3 speakers, 3 tape decks, numerous circuit boards, numerous pairs of headphones, old wire hangers, fake flowers, beading wire, fake moss, green foam, bonding glue.. and many other things.

Our positions were clear. Steve was the Audio Technician and I was in charge of Arrangement.

After Steve successfully hooked the audio from the tape decks up to the speakers, I then converted the speakers into flowers with glue and patience. I used beading wire to secure the speakers onto a wire hanger which I wrapped around the fake flower stems. Pain in hands and frustration were worth it though.

We nested the two tape decks on top of two green foam blocks inside of our planter and then added more foam blocks and fake moss on top of that, making sure the tape decks were near enough to the surface for us to press the play buttons. We planted our bouquet inside of this arrangement, fixing it with the foam and propping it up with some used circuit boards, also known as 'foliage'.

Although the pictures are interesting, make sure to catch the bouquet in action in our video below.

We hope you enjoy this presentation, as it has taken longer than any other task so far.


Thank you.
