Luminaries: Chasing a Sound: Lessons Learned Building a Glass Harp September 27 | 2PM ET | The Palladium
Composer, performer and instrument builder Rob Funkhouser specializes in exotic musical instruments. In this presentation, he will demonstrate and explain the background of one of his most recent creations, the Glass Harp, the pitfalls of trying to recreate an instrument based on image searches, and the depths of the rabbit hole into which he fell during the instrument's creation. For Funkhouser, this process represented an unpredictable technical challenge in terms of instrument building. It served as a transforming moment in thinking about how and why people continue to create and the ever-growing possibilities presented by the creation of sound.
