Title: News - Andy Mason's Mermaid Post by: Liam Schwilik on February 22, 2005, 07:05:12 PM I have just been asked to contribute to a composition (with Andy), and record an istallation piece for Exeter State of the Arts Festival. Andy Manson's "Possibility" is a unique working sculpture of a (lifesize) mermaid. It is also a fully playable guitar. You play the guitar and hug the mermaid simutaineously!
Anybody interested should look at http://www.andymanson.co.uk/mermaid.htm.

What does she sound like? Jude Title: Re: News - Andy Mason's Mermaid Post by: Liam Schwilik on February 23, 2005, 09:10:52 AM Anji,
Yes, it's amazing. Housed in a huge hand carved clam shell, that stands upright on it's hinge end. I watched Andy go from idea to fruition. Even with the knowledge of it's concept and size, it didn't have any detrimental effect to the sheer impact of seeing the final work. There is nothing quite like it on the planet. Jude, I'm gong over to Andy's Ark next week to caress her! Hmmm. I'll keep you posted.

I think that may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, I'm truly gobsmacked. Please pass on my compliments to Andy. I don't suppose it's very cheap....only it'd look good in my snug. :) Title: Re: News - Andy Mason's Mermaid Post by: Liam Schwilik on February 24, 2005, 06:53:50 AM Thanks James,
I will pass on your words to Andy. Mark Title: Re: News - Andy Mason's Mermaid Post by: Shane (Skirky) on February 25, 2005, 07:19:36 PM Awesome Dude! I bet the flight case is a bugger, mind....
