Monolith

1,036 tiny squares of silk sing out from this quilt. The electronic guitar on the monolith waits centre stage for a touch to bring it to life. Strum the magnetic pick across the pick up for a throbbing metal sound so hot it glows from the lustrous silk. Press frets on the neck to change the chord. This quilt rocks to impressive volumes. It can be turned all the way up to 11!
