Each instrument is fashioned from an everyday item of office stationery and comes complete with instructions on how to assemble it.\n\nOnce each item has been transformed it is also renamed; bulldog clips played as castanets are renamed 'castaclips', elastic bands stretched across a plastic box become an 'elastilute', plastic bottles of correction fluid are 'correctoraccas', the casing of a pen becomes a 'pen-pipe', and to ensure the orchestra stays in time, two office pencils are provided as conductor's batons.","physicalDescription":"Artists' book with graphic musical score.\r\nScore is in 4 parts on 4 folded sheets ; a fifth sheet is the title-page.\r\nScore has title: Stationary [sic] symphony no. 1.\n\r\n\"Packaged in a cardboard tube, the instruments are housed within a concertina die-cut form. Each one is made from a separate piece of stationery and is accompanied by simple graphic instructions which demonstrate assembly and musical technique. Musical scores with customised notation depicting the Stationery symphony No. 1 are provided for all instruments. In the centre is a slimmer tube containing two pencils. The pencils function as conductors' batons or may be used as drumsticks with which to paradiddle the [tin] lid ... \"- Inside cover.
