Sound sculpture / Tongue drum

Bell Drum Head

An investigation into the body as a source of sound. By translating the human form into a percussive instrument, the work evokes the clarity and resonance of liturgical bells and singing bowls—an experience intended to quiet the mind by replicating the rhythmic firing of the human neural network.
