Just turn the knobs and switches for the ‘Human Jukebox’ is set in motion, with a quaint sophistication that will swoon with delight the hearts of all working girls. Over and above a musical performance or a music box, the artist leaves plenty place for improvisation. This firm sound curiosities is the link between plastic surgery, musical and theatrical performance, all with humor and offset.
