Melon Sprout uses ceramic instruments to extend their body physically and sonically. Material and body become a tangible space for the ephemeral. Sharing the extension of self in functionality, viewers are encouraged to activate, interact with, and extend themselves physically and sonically in the form of ceramic music-making. “Ceramusic” - a word for ceramic music - retains physical traces of the instruments’ original soft clay state, which go through many material and functional transitions when released into the world. They are performed, shared, struck, climbed, spun, recorded, processed, and altered. The ceramic instruments reciprocate non-linguistic communication, generating an animated environment where feelings and ideas are free to exchange.
