kinetic sculpture/performance, cymbals, dc motors

‘coin-cidence’ is a kinetic sound sculpture that consists of two motor-driven cymbals that roll around uncontrollably. Continuously rolling left and right, forwards and then backwards, the cymbals roll around, bumping into walls, corners and into each other. Thereby the cymbal-robots repeatedly encounter the limitation and characteristics of the interior space. A playful sound intervention that makes little cracks, stones or stand on the floor audible through subtle noises and rattle sounds of cymbals.

This sound intervention is part of a series called ‘rolling things’. The first edition emerged during the art residency ‘sonic explorers’ in 2020 in Dakar (SE).
