Design Intentions and Ideas

With my model i intend to create a surreal atmosphere with various moving animations all contained in one model hovering in the middle of nowhere. My idea is to have all the long rectangle shapes bleed down or up from the large shape at different times, inspired by the movements of piano keys. To accomplish this i will need to group each rectangle separate so i can animate each one to synchronize in a random sequence. I would also like to make the cubes on the outside fall down away into the distance as if the model is falling apart slowly in destruction. I want to start from the outside and enter through the top crack to inhibit and rotate inside the model.
