This all takes place in a freezer set to 25°F.
A line of double-wall glass vessels from 1’ to 4’ tall are set into holes in a marimba-like stand. The vessels are much like white wine glasses, but they are double-walled and the ‘stem’ is hollow all the way down, sometimes 2 to 3’. Alcohol is precisely
added to each ‘flute’ for lack of a better word, and a specially-shaped ice cube, for lack of a better word, is added to the alcohol so that it will act as a striker on the walls of the double-walled flute.
The player creates the sound by moving the bottom of each flute so that the floating striker wiggles against the inside of the double-walled vessel in time to their playing. A haunting, cool, and unapproachable ambience is produced for the audience, which is freezing its ass off.

//Alcohol is precisely added to each// |

The problem with this device is that it will drift wildly out of tune very quickly as the alcohol is guzzled |

Must I measure in Fahrenheit? |

No it's comfortably at room temperature to allow for the ice cube to melt gracefully and add a subtle to the alcohol so that its flavour can be as you sip it. |
