The POI SONORE, the SWAGGLER, the SWINGING SPEAKER and other flying, rolling and spinning inventions. Composer Arthur Wagenaar, juggler Guido van Hout, and designer Dianne Verdonk combined their powers to develop a series of new musical instruments that can be played through juggling. Think of resonating flying strings, wobbling bells, ticking tops, and sensors that detect the impact of a ball and translate this into sound. These instruments are used in a unique music-juggling-performance: Sounds Like Juggling.
Sounds Like Juggling is all about patterns. Patterns in music, in juggling, and in life. About the power and the beauty of patterns. About being stuck in patterns, and breaking free. Sounds Like Juggling is a playground of movement and sound, where the rules might change any moment and nothing is impossible.
