The Pendulum Instrument, 2025

[ instrument / installation ]


The Pendulum Instrument is a 4-meter-long electromagnetic string instrument, stretching from ceiling to floor.

Its strings hang meters high as pendulums.
Electromagnetic forces drive them into vibration.

Once the instrument is in motion, enchanting drones emerge, overflowing with minimal texture nuances and natural resonances.

These massive, interweaving drones flood the room, immersing the audience in a hypnotizing journey.

The Pendulum Instrument introduces an element of ritual into electronic music. It connects the materiality of strings with modular electronics and physical movement, on a monumental scale.

Presented as a stand-alone installation, or performed live as an instrument.
