πŸŒŠπŸ”ŠΒ―_(ツ)_/Β― 

πŸŒŠπŸ”ŠΒ―_(ツ)_/Β― is a quadrophonic, interactive sound installation powered by several dozen modular synthesizers, commissioned by the Sharjah Art Foundation for the 2019 Sharjah Biennial. The composition dynamically self-modulates, with continuous, distinct variations throughout four movements. It references melodic modes from the region as well as urban seaside rhythms from Sharjah itself.

Three marΓ­mbulas (Afro-Cuban bass thumb pianos) surround the synths and can be played by visitors. Although these instruments are unamplified, when plucked, they emit voltage that transforms the electronic composition.
