Potential Project Ideas

So I'm thinking I would like to try to explore using instruments in an unconventional way, but I'm not sure if this feels far enough away from the example in the book. Other ideas include manipulating water with the sound waves coming off of these instruments and using them in a scene that looks like two people having a normal dialogue. For example, maybe we can be at a dinner table set up and having a conversation about what we did that day but through our own symbols. To me, the sound that comes off of the symbols when vibrated off the speakers makes me think of having a strained conversation, like one that might take place at the dinner table of an unhappy couple.
