ABOVE GROUND features the sounds of the fantastic and beautiful ceramic instruments made by multi-media artist Julia Elsas.
Musicians: Kenny Wollesen, Kirk Knuffke, Mike Irwin, Doug Wieselman, Madeleine Ventrice, Julia Elsas
SONIC MUD musicians play a range of ceramic flutes, drums, natural trumpets, shakers, clayrimbas, rain machines, water whistles and more, all hand-built by Julia. The performances are unique and one-of-a-kind. The music is improvisational while they bring to life the richly resonant and earthy sounds of clay.
