<p> This thesis is about the process behind building, tuning, and composing music for a new set of metallophones called the "Lightbulb" instruments. This project began in 2011 and has continued to expand over the past two years: the first piece to be written for the instruments is titled <i> Prana,</i> and this thesis describes how the process of building and tuning the instruments informed the compositional process behind <i><b> Prana.</b></i> The premiere of <i>Prana</i> led to the formation of the Lightbulb Ensemble, which performs on these new instruments. The instruments and the group continue to develop.</p>
