Interior Installations

The Gamelatron is a very versatile instrument. It has been designed to be modular and can be retrofitted to any architectural landscape. Each gong has a bracketed mounting system that allows the instrument and its robotic counterpart to be fixed to any surface or stand freely on a level plane. Compositions can be looped on continuous play or triggered by the audience or attendant through a user interface often made with colorful arcade buttons. Gamelatron installations are essentially “live” and can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months or years at a time.

The installations themselves are sound mandalas that we adapt to the size and scale of the surroundings. Most of the gongs in the Gamelatron collection are tuned in pairs, with one gong slightly higher in pitch than the other. Compositionally the 2 often ring at the same time creating a special oscillation. We mount to the walls, ceilings, and floors spacing the pairs out to maximize the acoustic phenomenon of this oscillation. The instruments are often at various heights surrounding the audience for a complete immersive experience.

We have created installations of different scales for various durations in museums, galleries and art fairs as well as private residencies, businesses, wellness centers, and specials events and festivals.

Exterior Installations

The Gamelatron is designed to be adaptable to any architectural landscape. When we create exterior installations we also create functional sculptural housing for the Gamelatron to live inside. These spaces invariably echo similarities to temples, shrines, and offering pavilions. They feature central places for people to congregate, while being designed to accentuate the resonance of the instruments and create a highly immersive and visceral experience.

We often collaborate with individual artists and groups on the design and fabrication of the sculptural housing. We have created exterior installations in housings as small as an 8ft x 8ft x 8ft pendopo (Indonesian Gazebo) and as large as a 126ft tall 50ft diameter tower. The sculptures are built to suit the weather conditions of the region and the duration of the installation.
