Project: Mobile Music Machine
The Mobile Music Machine (or as we like to say The Magnificent Memphis Mobile Music Machine) is a Live From Memphis project advocating the importance of a healthy bike culture and the impact that music and art have on our daily lives. Sure, we could have bought a vehicle capable of moving a musician, amps and instruments, but we felt that it was important to create and produce the Mobile Music Machine as a local collaboration, with our own hands, with recycled bike parts and powered with the human body.
The Mobile Music Machine itself was conceived by Live From Memphis and our friends at Rock the Bike, recycled bike parts and consulting were contributed by Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop, and the fabrication of the vehicle itself was created by our good friends at the National Ornamental Metal Museum. Additional welding was provided by Yvonne Bobo and the first round of musicians are sponsored by the Memphis Downtown Commission.
The Metal Museum Team: Holly Fisher, Jim Masterson, Abraham Pardee and Logan Hirsh.
The Live From Memphis Team: Christopher Reyes, Sarah Fleming, Sam Dunn and Edward Valibus Philips.
Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop: Kyle Wagenschutz, Toni Michelle, and Robert.
