Step 3Drill Holes for Cables
At this point, I also spray painted the trash. I decided it was best to paint before incorporating any electronics, so as not to damage them. I also drilled 6 holes for cables to run out from the bottom of the instrument.
Because I knew many of the fabrication elements for this project would be hindered by some of my skills. I embraced a more rugged/grotesque aesthetic for the visual element of the instrument. If I had cut the holes for the cables this poorly and combined it with a very clean paint job, it would simply look sloppy. I find that a process which leaves a malleability to future steps can be more inspiring as an artist; it is especially important to be flexible when you know you may be hindered by your resources.
