Handmade Instruments

Turner Matthews, a fifth-year senior studying composition, poses for a portrait in his work space in his living room where he constructs handmade instruments, such as the propane tank tongue drums in the top left or the electronic ceramic percussion instrument on the table. The ceramic instrument was co-created with the help of ceramic graduate student Michael Lorsung. Matthews will use the propane drums in his music at his and Jake Schlearth's shared recital "Electricity Music" on April 25th at Central Venue at 6pm.
