Connect metal cans with a thin string is the game every kid knows. Based on these sound characteristics in combination with chaotic oscillation principe grows this interactive sound sculpture.

 

The can get bounded on a three millimeter diameter threaded rod. A thin vinyl string get fixed on the can. On the other side of the string is an mainspring. Five of these constructions get fixed on a table in an form of a pentagon. in the middle of the five rods, the mainsprings get connected with a light  tension. All the five connected rods are fixed with another string, that goes to the ceiling, from there around two meters away and back down. In the end of the string is an handle to play with the latas saltadores
