HRP [work-in-progress]
A new harp/performance installation with displaced ‘strings’ tuned and strung in front of multiple speakers inspired by the Palme Frond used with the Ondes Martenot. A new aluminum frame with thin metal rods that serve as slender touch plates to trigger tones that pass quietly through a room of speakers configured with strings, generating sympathetic, resonating vibrations.
