My music box
FOOT PERCUSSION
This is the box I carry with me - a small, self contained way of making music everywhere I go. Inside is a simple foot percussion set up that adds rhythm and movement beneath the guitar. It allows me to play freely, and to keep things minimal - just sound, space and add an extra dimension to my sound. The beat is natural with what I am playing.
This box started as something I found in a second hand shop and slowly become part of how I make music.
I've reinforced the it from the inside to take my weight, added air holes to let it breathe, and built a simple foot percussion setup around it.
The pedals comes from foot drums, and the brushes are made from cable ties - nothing complicated , just what works.
I use it in the studio, at home, and outdoors. It adds rhythum beneath the guitar - something subtle, grounding to drive the music on.
