Luftschlag (Air beat)

interactive sound sculpture

Pneumatic and electrical commands produce various natural sounds and noises that emanate from bells, moo-boxes, a swinging sheet of metal, a cymbal, a horn and organ pipes. At the centre of the object is a matte white glass ball that pulsates in colours running from red into purple into blue. Depending on the sounds, light effects are produced by a green strip light. This is an entrancing encounter and interplay of listening, answers and discoveries.
