Emily Wells’ Symphony 1: In the Barrel of a Gun
by A friend sent me a few videos of Emily Wells performing and I was instantly hooked. Her innovative sound, made from a violin, toy instruments, and digital loops, is a new frontier in music.

Her ongoing Motherboard Series is a beautiful example of her work and a breath of fresh air in the contemporary art scene.
