A project based on using recycling material to make instruments.
Lady's Beck exhibition (May 2017)
As music plays an important part of my life, I always want to combine music within my artwork. And after learning a Green design and Sustainability module, which inspired my to use waste materials to create my own instruments.
Xylophone Improvisation
At the studio and park.
For this instrument-making project, I wanted to take it further and create a video to introduce these instruments to my audience, because the video can show how well the instruments can function and let the audience understand the purpose of my project easily.
Spanners xylophone
Made of a set of 11 spanners, two wooden bars and rubber bands.
one-string guitar
A C guitar string and a used paper package box.
Chopsticks kokiriko
Just made of lots of one-off chopsticks.
A song from the instruments
An Auditory Journey
Listen Now
This is a song composed by the spanner xylophone, one-string guitar and chopsticks kokiriko from the instrument making project. As this soundtrack will focus on sound and music, linking back to my original topic: music and identity.
