CAPTURING "MADNESS" WITH THE GLASS HARMONICA

"To utilize glass as a musical instrument certainly requires a rarefied level of finesse…

the ability to attune to, calibrate and harmonize frequencies that are then channeled through this material, which in turn produces a uniquely permeating sound is an affinity that appeals to a select few.

There is a sense of pervasive fragility evoked through the sounds made by this instrument, which is fitting, given that the vibrations emitted through the highly fragile material (i.e. glass) are akin to giving it a voice… it then follows that this instrument is a great match to a fragile state of mind which is the underpinning of madness."
