The exhibit opened with a musical performance by Lirio Salvador's "elemento" group. They played some industrial "avant garde" music. (whew!). While these might seem too heavy a description for their music, I found them really grooving and tight. Strangely enough, I their music is at times "danceable". Is this the effect of too much rap metal playing on the radio these days ??

Here's a picture of Lirio and his bandmates while playing his "sandata" instrument















Typical of Lirio Salvador's work is an installation of musical instruments using "found" objects, such as water faucet, bicycle parts and parts of old discarded electronic toys. The sound is produced with the help of electric current.
