Another clip of Jon Sterckx and I from our recent residency at Hawkwood. We love the playful and intricate combination of Kashaka and Marimba - it was the Kashaka that brought us together into this collaboration in the first place!

![An unexpected guest... | Evelyn and Sandi Toksvig
No two days are alike… there was a most unexpected visitor enquiring about buying* a Marimba earlier this week. You never know who is going to turn up!
@TheQIElves #QI #SandiToksvig #EvelynGlennie #TheEvelynGlennieCollection
Video description: the clip opens with Evelyn polishing her Marimba, as Sandi arrives, requesting a demo as she is interested in purchasing it. Behind and surrounding Evelyn, we can see a huge number of percussion instruments of all shapes, sizes and materials.
Their discussion, included as embedded captions, goes as follows:
[Evelyn polishes the Marimba as Sandi arrives]
Sandi: Hi, sorry, are you Evelyn Glennie?
Evelyn: Yes.
S: I saw your advert online for the Marimba.
E: Oh!
S: Yeah, I just wanted to… I thought I’d come and hear it, to see if it’s any good before I buy it.
E: Oh, Okay! I’m just cleaning it.
S: Oh, okay, thanks.
E: Right, well, I haven’t warmed up today.
S: No, I, uh, that’s fine.
[Evelyn plays the Marimba to demonstrate it]
E: Good aye?
S: (looking nonchalant and disinterested) Yeah, it’s not for me, thanks.
E: Oh, oh!
[Sandi walks away, leaving Evelyn confused]

![Evelyn Explores... | Improvising with the SM Percussion Double Horizontal Spring Cowbell - Reel
Evelyn introduces a new instrument which has joined her Sound Forge, as part of The Evelyn Glennie Collection, the Double Horizontal Spring Cowbell from SM Percussion.
Evelyn is stood behind a large timpani, on top of which rests the SM Percussion Double Horizonal Spring Cowbell. Placing it on a timpani, to use the timpani as a resonator, she then improvises to produce a myriad of soundscapes, using a combination of mallets and chopsticks to create some moan-like wails, some staccato, sharp sounds, and some booming deep echoes.
