Video Description: Evelyn is wearing a black cardigan over a grey top and grey trousers with dark silver sequinned 'fit-flops', as she sits on a drum stool smiling towards the camera. Behind her we can see part of The Evelyn Glennie Collection - including, left to right, a large promotional poster for the 1991 release of her Dancin' album which was displayed in the London Underground, a glass cabinet of awards, a TV script for Sesame Street, stage costumes, giant prop drumsticks and a large wooden frog on the floor - as she says:
"It has been so exciting to personally meet and interact with all the wonderful people who have already taken part in a ‘Meet the Dame’ visit. We have set aside some diary dates to give more people the opportunity to take part in this unique shared experience. I particularly enjoy sharing anecdotes and reflections as we explore The Evelyn Glennie Collection together from each guests own interests.
You might be interested in my performance outfits, for example, or collection of Blue Peter badges, awards, looking at television scripts such as Sesame Street, musical scores, mementos, art work, or indeed the myriad of instruments from around the world. What will connect us and resonate with you? Find out more on my website, link in my bio!
...Ok Marcus, thank you (said to the person behind the poster who is holding it up)".
As the video finishes, the poster begins to drop.

![Evelyn Experiments | Cooking Up a Storm - Pan Lids on Timpani
Cooking up a storm…
A succession of recent visitors to the office have been curious as to why a family of pan lids have taken up residence on top of my 52-inch timpani. The aim was to declutter my kitchen but [as those of you who know me will be well aware] nothing is discarded until the sound possibilities have thoroughly come to boil!
This clip shows that nearly anything can be a percussion instrument if you find a way to forge sound with it.
Video description: Evelyn, dressed in a blue and marl grey striped top and with her long silver-grey hair loose around her shoulders, uses a wide range of mallets, super-balls and some metal chopsticks to strike eight pan-lids of varying sizes. The resulting sonic landscape is eerie, with bell-like tones and deep booms combined, as the silver lids shiver whilst they resonate on the timpani head.
