The sculptures are working instruments, and Reyes has formed an ensemble to play them. John Coxon, a member of the British rock band Spiritualized, composed music for the gun-orchestra. “I wanted a record that sounded interesting and sort of vibrant and musical and life-affirming in some way,†Coxon says. “I didn’t want to make a kind of death metal record.†But playing the instruments can be unnerving.
