The first String Thing was born from a bucket of discarded piano bass strings. Fastened with nails to two blocks of scrap wood, they were rusty and unwieldy and much too thick to be pulled taught between two bodies. At their best they produced a low resounding thud.
A year later the second String Thing came to fruition, this time made of harpsichord strings and a cigar box, fashioned with guitar pegs, heart-shaped holes, and bridges. These strings are strong and thin, bending and stretching with the bodies that animate them. String Thing #2 exists in the space between the two bodies that wear it. They are its backbone. Without them it makes no sound.
