There was one more exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum that I needed to experience. It's called Instrument of Troubled Dreams and it was created by artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. The couple is known for creating interactive audio installations of all kinds. This one had a replica of a 1960 Mellotron that had every key wired to play a specific musical piece or voice track. Participants can compose their own film-like soundtrack. It was fun to play with and to listen to others play.

Oh I could spend hours, driving everyone else mad with that.
Interactive exhibits are so much fun!
That does sound like fun, Sharon.
An interactive exhibit is a great way to get people to experience something new.
Wonderful!
That could have kept me entertained for hours. Brilliant!
I knew heard of it some of the great supergroups used it, even the Beetles
Wow, I haven't heard of a Mellotron in ages. Isn't that something that '60s rock bands used to use?
Such an interesting experience, I presume it should be fun to go and experiement with a friend.
