Harmonic Fields is an ensemble of 500 instruments, played by the wind. Harnessing this natural energy, life is breathed into the orchestra, creating a symphonic soundscape, unique to each visitor.
Pierre Sauvageot, creator of Harmonic Fields explains. “We’re constantly ombarded with new noises, which amplify until we no longer listen. Sounds from Harmonic Fields are quiet and come at their own ace, like waves on the seashore. It is music in its simplest, most primal form.”
In tune with our time but without electricity or technology, Harmonic ields is an invitation to take a wondrous journey: a concert which goes beyond a performance, an original sensory experience.
