The work “Singing cymbals” at Gallery Školská 28 transforms the architecture of the gallery space into a resonant acoustical instrument which is interactive in the truest sense of the word.
The installation consists of a sound source heard through four speakers-“shakers”, shivering of strings stretched horizontally across the ceiling, from which are suspended strings with wooden clothes pegs that resonate on the cymbals lying on the floor. The room pulses with subsonic standing waves (beyond human hearing), which interferes with bodies of the passing visitors. The emerging feedback then alters the “behavior” of the resonating strings and also a variable quartet of tinkling cymbals.
