The Crank Ensemble is a San Francisco-based performance group whose
musicians (including me) create rhythmic and repetitive patterns by using handmade
crank-operated machines. The instruments are constructed by artist
Larnie Fox; each has a mounted piezo (contact microphone) to amplify its
sound. The ensemble of cranks creates layers of sound, resulting in a
range of a sparse new-music style "plinking" to melodic loopiness and
hardcore noise. The Crank Ensemble has performed at numerous local
spaces/events such as the Luggage Store, the LAB, the Hemlock Tavern, 12
Galaxies, at 21 Grand as part of the Edgetone Music Summit, Godwaffle
Noise Pancakes, the Maker Faire, and at New Music Bay Area's "Garden of
Memory" columbarium walk-through event at Chapel of the Chimes.
