Preliminary sketch of a method and means for playing two cellos while pedaling a bicycle. Brake levers will be used to engage the cellos to the spinning wheel. Three additional axis of freedom will be used to play different strings, control a movable capo (effectively changing notes and dynamics), and engage a plucking region. This playing will be simultaneously translated into a digital experience which explores an interactive collage through intended and unintended cello movement．This analog-digital mash-up is intended to convey the meaning of Transparent Explosions: Technology and Progress -- that our shifting awareness between the abstract and tangible domains (increasingly facilitated by technology） is explosive and often times overwhelming. However, as we awkwardly ride into the New Age we discover incredible power in expressing our psycho-emotional state and ultimately in relating to other people. Through technology we are growing closer and more compassionate with the rise of a new, profoundly artificial spirituality.
