The Tuning Grove is a sound sculpture created to produce healing tone and light in the form of white petrified tree stumps. It made up of three crystal singing bowls, piezo microphones, and DMX RGB led panels. The sounds created by striking or rubbing the mallet around the rim of the bowls effect the quality and color of the light emitted from inside the columns.
