MUSEAIC Episode 2
“what makes a cocktail good… the person drinking it, should enjoy it” (Elizabeth Wenzel, cocktail mixing) In her new online-format MUSEAIC, presented as live-streams on instagram, harpist Elisabeth Plank invites other creatives to fuse various branches of the arts with music, with the intention to inspire each other through creative challenges. In MUSEaic’s second episode, food blogger Elizabeth Wenzel shared her love for cocktails. The creative challenge was creating a cocktail to a piece of music, presented in this video.
