Solstice festival 2025

The piece can be played by hitting the singing bowls with mallet-like objects. At the festival the work was put to the test and I had to take the mallets away. After this the audience got the idea to play the bowls by banging them against each other and as a result, some of the rods were twisted and some of the bowls were cracked. Despite this, and perhaps because of it, the work was successful.
