Chaos Bells photo

Chaos Bells is a very large instrument comprising of 20 gesturally performed pendulums with unique sound design featuring bell-like tones and chaotic drones. Designed with both artistic and analytical goals in mind, it is a probe into the exploration of instrument size on performance, and a vehicle for the artist’s performance practice. Come play Chaos Bells yourself and experience live performances throughout the weekend by musician Kunal Singhal and instrument designer Lia Mice.
