Zimoun: Sound Sculpture

Sound sculpture, an unexpected discovery. It made me think of the videos of ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response), or the meditation videos of rain and surf sounds, giving a hypnotic, mesmerizing experience.

"Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream."
-Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles.

Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun's minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.

Wikipedia: Sound Sculpture
Sound sculpture (related to sound art and sound installation) is an intermedia and time based art form in which sculpture or any kind of art object produces sound, or the reverse (in the sense that sound is manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass). Most often sound sculpture artists were primarily either visual artists or composers, not having started out directly making sound sculpture.
