Over a decade ago, while strolling our property with my father—the one who'd given the combine its final resting place five years earlier—the concept for this project emerged. The idea of a combine wind chime immediately felt like the ultimate daydream, its sounds conjuring a sense of perfect tranquility. The instruments within it are a mix: some hold incredible personal significance, others were simply practical tools, yet every single one played a part in my journey. Similar to the music I've made, this art project was completed solely for the sake of joy, both personal and shared. Life is brief, so if you're compelled to create something beautiful, please do—the world could certainly use more of it!

So, if you're curious about how a dusty old combine became the muse for a symphony of whimsy, let's take a look.
