Leon Dewan and Brian Dewan are Dewanatron -- a collaborative team who make hand-crafted, semi-automatic, electronic musical instruments. This exhibition will feature 12 wall-mounted, analog, solid-state instruments that produce occasional electronic utterances at ever-shifting intervals of time. Also included in the show are parlor and concert instruments such as the Swarmatron and the Dual Primate Console. Visitors will be able to play the Coin-Op Melody Gin, an arcade instrument in which 25 cents buys the customer a four-minute electronic music-making-odyssey with knobs and toggle switches.
