Initial sketches for a final project

I have been thinking about fabricating objects that incorporate sound for a long time now. My initial idea is to produce a sculpture or piece of furniture that doubles as an instrument. I want this object to be used/interacted with to modulate, loop, sequence and amplify sounds through. I'm also thinking about how bodies sharing the same space as this object could change the pitch and tone of the sound the object produces. Things like that.

References/Research

Designers I am referencing are Love Hulten , Clara Porset and Norman Teague. I am also looking at Tauba Auerbach's work. Learning about forms of representation and framing problems through Design Earth has been a valuable resource for taking a "long view" perspective on design.
