Tree Harps: This duo turns trees into gorgeous ephemeral instruments to record music in the forest
The artists and musicians known as Honeypaw have an unusual method of making music, and musical instruments. The Ontario-based duo Jurgita Žvinklytė and Matti Palonen build "tree harps" — harps made from hollow or dead trees. They drill small sets of holes in the trees to set up strings, play the tree harps, record it, and then disassemble it when they're done.
Žvinklytė and Palonen are the subjects of the first instalment of Natural Collaborators, a new video series from CBC Arts about artists who find inventive ways to use the natural world in their work.
