Global Sounds – AN INSTALLATION CONNECTING CULTURES AND PEOPLE

Global Sounds is an interactive light and music installation which celebrates the enrichment that occurs when different people, ideas and cultures come together.

The installation consists of 7 pyramids. If a person approaches a pyramid, an instrument begins to play inside it, visually accompanied by a play of light. When another visitor approaches another pyramid, a second instrument joins in - until, through the interaction of at least seven people, the complete composition and play of light can finally be experienced.

The different instruments represents the diversity of cultures. For the composition, Picaroon worked together with the Munich composer Theresa Zaremba.
