The set lasts an exhausting thirteen minutes and Rossi can be seen sliding up and down his huge selection of scrap metal instruments. A large crowd gathers to see Rossi perform, encircling the performer and watching on as he builds to his crescendo.

The set is a skilfully played one as Rossi’s kit is laid out in such a manner that he has to slide across the ground in order to play the furthest instruments.
