Treadles

Peter Keene


Pedal or treadle powered via a dynamo synthesizers.
In the middle 90's, I started collecting old dentist pedal drill mechanisms and sewing machine treadles with the intension of using them to power some of my work. They were all eventually dedicated to synthesizers, 10 or so pieces. Most are now sold but I managed to make a concert with several of them in the late 90's. For the concert, I had a pedal mixing desk and amplification and lighting system.
