    Scavenger Quartet
    Scavenger Quartet

    Experimental/minimalist American group from Detroit, Michigan, led by Frank Pahl. The group's choice of instruments is often unusual: toy piano, music boxes and sirens together with organ, double bass, tenor saxophone and drums.


    Current line-up:
    Frank Pahl - euphonium, farfisa, guitars, toy piano, automoton design
    Joel Peterson - double bass, guitar, percussion
    Tim Holmes - tenor and soprano saxophone, bass recorder, toys
    Doug Gourlay - drum kit, percussion
    Marko Novachcoff - winds, cello

    In addition, Pahl and Holmes build automated musical instruments that sometimes accompany the group. The instrument parts come from small motors, Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs and rotisseries, for example.
