10min. Gallery Talk "Water Drum"

[10min Gallery Talk] 9/18(wed),9/20(fri)：Water Drum
This is a general term for water-based percussion instruments, but this time we will focus on Papua New Guinea instruments that produce sound by being submerged or pulled up underwater. It has no membrane surface, and holes penetrate to openings at both ends. It is a sacred instrument used in the male coming-of-age ceremony. What sound does it represent?
