A deconstructed Yamaha upright piano in two parts – harp and wooden cabinet – forms the visual basis of Resonance, a hands-on work that invites the public to explore sounds-in-nature and tremors-under-the-landscape.  The cabinet, when dragged across the ground with a leather ox harness, evokes the barely audible sounds of seismic forces – sliding tectonic plates – that move continuously beneath the islands of Japan. The piano’s harp with steel frame, strings and various bird sound accouterments, is activated by a sonic glass block which connects directly to sounds from the surrounding environment – streams, birds, leaves, and rain. In the performance, I play the harp and then drag the piano cabinet along a seismic path. On the return trek, I activate a variety of bird sounds hanging on branches along the path.
