“At first one would not think that the sounds are emitted from the transparent pearls. The artistic intention is that the sound “transforms” the room slightly, and that the sound changes imperceptibly, like a sunbeam in a room. Because there are no low frequencies, the sound does not influence the sulpture body. The sounds which resemble water, birds, glass pearls etc. are interwoven with small melodic fragments. All sounds are generated synthetically and will cause individual associations. The sound loop is of 30 minutes length and repeats automatically."
