Steve Elkins

  1. Photography

Australia

Part of several trips documenting fringe musical cultures across Australia from February to June 2009, including aborigine choirs, a chainsaw orchestra, a singing dog, a man who makes music from barbed wire fences in conflict zones around the world with a violin bow, a homeless man who makes music with his fingers, DJ Smallcock (who screams into amplified glass and attacks vinyl records with amplified samurai swords), a woman who makes music from DOT Matrix printers, Col-E-Flower's music from homemade vegetable instruments (including his carrot bagpipes and celery-sweet potato trombone), drummers making music with roadkill in Tasmania, a woman turning the world's bridges into musical instruments then creating a global symphony of them singing in unison, and countless others.
