DAVE KREJCI
The Cleophone

Even in his garage-rock days, playing in the psychedelic band Green Machine, Dave Krejci established a unique bent. Now, a decade later, the electronic-effects wizard has invented the Cleophone, a 12-string instrument that sounds like a piano with endless sustain and objects stuck in the strings. His debut Cleophone composition crawls through various movements as the instrument is bowed, plucked, and struck like a dulcimer to create vibes and overtones resembling a faint buzz saw, dark wind chimes, and church bells on acid. www.cleophone.com
