Do you play an instrument？Have you ever made one？Terje Isungset can answer yes to both questions.And he makes instruments out of something pretty cool.Ice!
Isungset got the idea for ice music more than 20 years ago."I was asked to do a concert in a frozen waterfall，"he says.This gave him the idea to play instruments that were actually made out of ice.As far as he could tell，this hadn't been done before."There were no books to read about it —nothing on the Internet，"he says."So I had to create everything by myself."
In 2006，Isungset helped start the Ice Music Festival.It is held in February.Almost everything at the Ice Music Festival is frozen."As you can imagine，there are a lot of logistics in doing an ice concert，"Isungset says."We come to a place，we collect the ice，and we build the concert space out of snow and ice."
For the festival Isungset has a goal of trying to invent a new instrument every year.He is going to play an ice horn（喇叭） this year."Would your mouth stick to it？Many people ask that question，"Isungset says."If the horn was made out of metal （金属），it would get stuck completely."His solution？Use a small piece of leather（皮革）.Place it on the horn's mouthpiece."It's the only part of my instrument that is not made of ice."
