La la Major

A sound installation by Uri Katzenstein & Ishai Adar. La La Major is a cacophonous sound installation that portrays a local landscape using music as its raw material. It features 24 speakers hung wall-to-wall resembling a loose rope bridge and playing 24 different pieces of music simultaneously. In order to put together a local musical landscape, Ishai and Uri Katzenstein used only Israeli music pieces. The spectators stood facing the bridge and listened to the humming it produced, while watching a video screening that showed diagrams of the sound waves. The result is a sound-and-sculptural-element installation that can be localized in various places around the world.
