The”Fire
Organ” is an instrument that transforms the heat from a flame into a new
energy source, that of sound.
The thermal exchanges that take place in the tubes of the Organ, which
are generated by multiple vibrations within, are directly linked to
meteorology. In particular, the idea of unstable equilibriums, the
liberation of energy occurring between the conflicting masses of hot
air, with those of cold air.
Fire, Air, Metal (those alloys born from the earth), Water in all of its
forms, and then of course Life, which combines plants and animals from
our planet, of which We – humans- are merely a humble part. The Thermal
Instruments take these essential elements, and uses them to their
advantage, as each new “alchemy” forges sounds which we call the“Thermal
Chants”.
Being in permanent evolution, the “Fire Organ” is made up of several
complementary installations:
- Thermal Percussion: which liberates the breaths of the fire in
titanium tubes
- Thermal Flutes: which transform the flame from the burner into high
frequency sounds
- The Thermal Scales, which oscillate over a fixed flame
- The Continual Thermal Sound, is the continuous vibrations of a column
of air within different sizes of glass tubes
Each instrument used is often modified according to the function and
needs of each new creative event.
