Tomoko Sauvage is a japanese-french experimental music composer and performer. Her work became notorious because of an instrument she created, consisting in porcelain bowls filled with water and containing a hydrophone inside of it, making it the first electro-aquatic instrument (Sauvage, 2021). With this instrument she is able to create very complex sounds, creating evolving performances.

After finishing her studies, Sauvage became very interested in hindustani music . She discovered an instrument called jalatharangam, that consisted in porcelain bowls filled with water, where the performer rubbed the edges creating rich tones (Sonic Acts, 2020). This instrument was Sauvage biggest inspiration, her electro-aquatic instrument is a modern evolution of this instrument. I am really impressed with the idea and I would like to attempt something similar. Going back to an old instrument and find a way to modernize or creating an instrument using different uncommon microphones.
