Motorized instruments are hanging from the ceiling, creating a sound sculpture in the space. As a visitor you envelope yourself in slowly changing harmonium sounds.
An old spinning choral humming top that De Groot once found on a flea market was the start for the immersive installation. Fascinated by the colorful children’s toy making a 3 chord melody she researched its patented technique, the history of the top and the free-reed instrument.
It resulted in a choir of motorized spinning tops, hanging from the ceiling. Every instrument is tuned differently, when walking among them different harmonies and rhythms can be heard.

BROM is commissioned by OYFO Kunst & Techniek, Hengelo (NL) with financial support of Mondriaanfonds

Production and advice: Bram Vreven.
