Rooftop Duet/Chimes study #3 (2006)

Created by Hilary Bryan with Ashley Gould
Shotwell Studios, San Francisco 2006

Kinetonic Bubbles integrate sound and movement harmonies in a playful and meditative reimagining of space. The architecture of the bubbles finds its inspiration in the visual, conceptual and kinetic beauty of the Space Harmony system originally conceived by 20th Century choreographer and movement theorist Rudolf Laban. Each Kinetonic Bubble arranges a complete chromatic scale in three dimensions at the twelve vertices of an icosahedron (polyhedron with twenty triangular faces). Completely surrounded by movement and sound possibilities the performer animates this sound-space so that kinetic harmony converges with tonic harmony for a powerful feeling of fit.Movement as instrument, reinscribing space with sound and motion. Sound highlights movement -- movement describes space. Harmonic rhythms of circles and vibration intertwine with mathematic complexity. Sound moves toward ritual. Space becomes sacred.

Hej Hilary,I really love this very very much...... a sound scape is also much easier to understand and to teach/learn, so this also might be a great teaching instrument!

greetings, wanda

@jegsynes Thank you! I originally designed it as as teaching tool to help people feel the space around them, and to motivate them to animate that space. Only once I was inside it did I begin exploring all the magnificent music that it makes. I find it's also really healing to have all that vibration fully surrounding the body.
