Thaalavattam Project
summary
Builds percussion instruments from waste plastic and metal—paint cans, soda cans, PVC pipe and repurposed chemical drums—and runs public drum circles that reuse literal bottles. Claims to have distributed 200 and 150 bottles for audience play, calls one instrument PVC Brown, and creates live loop jams with crowds of volunteers. Demonstrates that found-object instruments can carry multiple rhythms, scales and a looping performance structure, and achieves high participation and clear rhythmic cohesion in 15–20 minute jam sessions.
