ICO DRUMS (2018)

Personal Project

The ICO drum project explores the acoustic potential of ceramics—a material both ancient and contemporary. This research led to the development of drums crafted from various Portuguese ceramic types, with meticulous attention given to the cylinder’s formation and optimal thickness selection.

Throughout the project’s evolution, advancements were made in production efficiency through enhancements in drying and drilling techniques.

Ongoing experimentation continues, focusing on exploring new clays, glazes, and sound qualities to further expand the project’s creative possibilities.
