BROM

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 ones 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 along them different interferences and beatings can be heard.
