[VIDEO] Amy Farrand And Her Junk Cello

Amy Farrand builds instruments from found material in her industrial, West Bottoms neighborhood in Kansas City, Missouri.

Farrand's "junk cello" was built from scavenged metal including: an old electric box, garage door track, and rebar. 

90-Mile View is a series of conversations with persons in and around the KCUR listening area that gives our listeners a look into lives and viewpoints different than their own.  Coming from all walks of life and from every direction, 90-Mile View reveals new colors in our landscape.

As KCUR’s arts reporter, I use words, sounds and images to take readers on a journey behind the scenes and into the creative process. I want to introduce listeners to the local creators who enrich our thriving arts communities. I hope to strengthen the Kansas City scene and encourage a deeper appreciation for the arts.
