THE SONIC BALLOON - an interactive musical installation
The Sonic Balloon is a unique, fun interactive musical installation for all ages encouraging musical exploration from audience-participants who conduct the virtual orchestra of five instrumental sections (represented by the five helium balloons), bringing instruments in and out, altering texture, dynamic and instrumentation of an original 9 minute composition for Piano, Strings, Brass, Guitars and Drums.
