The Celestial Sound Cloud by Pif-Paf
The Celestial Sound Cloud is an interactive digital sound and light sculpture inspired by cosmic clouds and nebulas – the clouds of dust and gases in which stars are formed. Its beautiful swooping mirror layered material sits elusively and tantalisingly in its environment – stunning by day or night.
Constantly changing with new groups and moods ebbing and flowing, Celestial Sound Cloud builds a sense of beauty, discovery and the creation of a special space by encouraging the audience to interact, sing, move and dance beneath, creating their own visual experience and soundscape.
