Collaboration Among Friends and a Stunning Performance

In one way or another, many of us who build functional design are systems integrators even if the subsystems we use are articles supplied by other artisans. The metal pipes I use to build an organ come to mind. We often cannot do it all by ourselves, and employ the skill sets of others in our work.

I had the opportunity early this week to see one of my own projects integrated into the musical performance of a folk group located here in Minneapolis. I built a tap board for the group, and describe it in more detail here.

To think that something that came out of my workshop could so collaboratively integrate with performance style combining folk music with dance in such a powerful and expressive way produced a lasting impression on me. The performance the other night was simply stunning.

Life is great when someone decides to do something that maybe hasn't been done before, and succeeds at doing it like Molly and Chase have done. I sincerely appreciate the collaboration that let me be part of it.
