Brumit, whose vocation is salvaging found objects for use as homemade instruments, will surprise us with his latest find, a 1:1122-scale replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Somewhere in our galaxy, as yet undiscovered, is the planet Cleanus. It is to this mysterious orb that The Cleaning Women trace their origins, though their earthly base is Helsinki, Finland. This cultish trio with its pulsing techno sound has a mission to clean up the planet. So it is fitting that Risto Puurunen, Timo Kinnunen, and Tero Vänttinen should construct their instruments out of assorted household items, the most obvious being clothes-drying racks, strung then played with chopsticks. The drum kit is strictly buckets and cans that formerly housed peach slices or some such comestible. Rostislav Aalto's lively and loud Cleaning Up! follows the techno triad of guys (did we mention?) as they zigzag across the Baltic countries in the worst of weather to the best of beats. Interspersing pre-existing music videos, this road movie takes us to dreary and riotous gigs where The Cleaning Women, dressed pertly in women's clothing and glamour makeup, are met with everything from hysterical acceptance to dumbfounded indifference for their domestic brand of otherworldly music.

Also on the program are John Sanborn's Ear to the Ground (U.S., 1982), in which percussionist extraordinaire David Van Tieghem uses Manhattan as his musical instrument, playing sidewalks, buildings, and phone booths to coax a streetwise symphony of struck sounds (4:25 mins, 3/4” video, From Electronic Arts Intermix); and Christian Marclay's Record Players (U.S., 1984), a performance with mauled, mangled, and manipulated vinyl (3:48 mins, Beta SP, BAM Collection).
