Weapons Transformed into Musical Instruments

Ryan Nance November 9, 2014

Mexico City based artist Pedro Reyes transformed a mass of rifles, pistols, and shotguns taken by the Mexican army from drug cartels to build the musical devices that are controlled by computers and can be pre-programmed, a fully mechanized orchestra. Titled Disarm.

Pedro Reyes creates second generation instruments from dismantled guns. With a team of musicians and new media studio, Cocolab, Reyes has made mechanized instruments from these one-time harmful weapons.
