ZenChim Ensemble

Interactive sound sculpture

It is a great sound sculpture 7 meters high

Hoses emerge from the 4-meter diameter base plate. The public or musicians blow or press button to emit the different notes of the instrument

The first ring generates 12 lower notes and the  second ring 24 higher notes

The audience randomly mixes the sounds generating a sound magma on which the choir is mounted

They can sit on cushions and feel with the palm of the hand the vibration that occurs on the surface of the disc 

A new sensory experience which transports you
