Jamming on LPG among my sculptures

Posted by Janis Wilson Hughes on June 30, 2016 at 4:59pm

I got to jam on one of my most recent builds in the gallery among my ceramic sculptures during my solo exhibition "Potential Energy" at the Appalachian Center for Craft. Here's a video of it: https://youtu.be/FLMd6_I7hNY

Very nice walk through and beautiful terra pan playing. Dennis Havlena has been an inspiration for many of my builds and he makes these from old propane tanks but I haven't tried that yet.

Unc & Maddog, thank you! ;)

Jim, you've got a good eye there! Yes it is a hang! Well, hang is sort of a brand name of handpan made in Europe, and mine is a TerraPan made here in Georgia. I have a video playing that in the gallery plus a walk through of the art if you're curious. I love those instruments! That clip is very Zen :D .

Hey wait, is that a hang drum beside you or one of your art pieces? Hmmm... or a UFO

Very cool exhibit.

it was wonderful all around . and fit well with the "earthy" tones.

I only had room to bring my little, old hacked tape deck to play through, so it's very low-fi and gritty. But I had fun getting to jam in the gallery. The gitty has great tone through a 'real' amp. Pretty rough here.

Just saw this Pick! Now I get it! :) Yeah, that setting in the gallery with my nature sculptures was like a garden of serenity. I'm really thankful they were cool with my bringing in some instruments to play.
