Foot Vox
Yale School of Art
March 6 and 10, 2023
A performance that activates my tap dance drums, drums built from repurposed scrap wood and scrap metal and activated by tapping or maneuvering them with my feet to make rhythm. Equipped with contact mics, the drums' rhythms are looped and layered, then sent through a voice transformer to create melody.
