Crank Ensemble with Targoodie at the Lab

Crank Ensemble is a set of artists performing with "crankers" created by Larnie Fox. Its great fun to perform. This performance was at the Lab in San Francisco.

The Crank Ensemble is a San Francisco-based performance group whose musicians are able to create rhythmic and repetitive patterns by using handmade crank-operated machines. The instruments are constructed by artist Larnie Fox; each have a mounted piezo (contact microphone) to amplify their 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 in numerous local spaces such as the Luggage Store and the Hemlock Tavern.
