Joe Cutler's Jiggadybox for Piano Quintet.The Jiggadybox is a strange musical contraption designed by the eighteenth century Swiss inventor gambler and philosopher Rudolf von Stengl. When finally wound the jiggadybox begins its characteristic ?jigga-ing? and at this point all its pistons and mechanisms whirl and dance to the sound of a strange jerky rhythm which is produced deep inside the box by an unknown and mysterious source.A word of warning: Care and attention must be taken when winding the jiggadybox up because the winding device is very old and delicate. Secondly being a prototype-model the jiggadybox has a tendency to overheat inthe midst of its jigga-ing?. - Joe CutlerComission made possible by Annie and Mark Bailey.
