The Marmalade Parade
For my senior exhibition at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls I chose to fabricate a fully functioning glass drum set, along with various other percussion instruments, which were then used in a live performance in Abbott Concert Hall. Each drum is fabricated from blown and cold worked glass, goatskin heads, metal rings, rope, and steel stands. The ride cymbal is made of fused and slumped glass, set on an existing cymbal stand. The performance explores my chromesthesia, hence the titles of each song have a color associated with them.
