ERIC & STEVE BARSOTTI LEONARDSON – RAREBIT

Rarebit is the culmination of a four-year project by sound artists and instrument inventors, Steve Barsotti and Eric Leonardson. Taking their cues from 20th century sound artist/inventors Luigi Russolo and Harry Partch, the self-built instruments of Barsotti & Leonardson use coil springs, eyebolts, various pieces of wood, and other familiar materials. These objects are amplified by contact microphones, resulting in sounds of incredible depth and texture producing amazing richness and variety that belie their humble origins.
