About the work
The Song of the Spheres
Sound installation
The Song of the Spheres is an invitation into the sonic landscapes of the celestial realms. Four circles entwine to form a spherical cuboctahedron or Genesa crystal – a sacred geometric symbol, understood as a powerful tool for personal, collective and planetary healing. As life energy is said to flow harmoniously through specific geometric shapes that echo growth patterns found in nature and cosmic arrangements. The soundscape offers stories about the sounds of creation from many cosmologies around the world – from Africa, Indigenous Americas and Australia – where sound is thought to be the fundamental impetus for creation. The storytelling continues with tales of astrophysics, geometry and spiritual sciences, to delve deeper into the creative power of sound. Immersed in planetary acoustic and polyphonic voices, The Song of the Spheres calls for a journey into the origins of space-time.
