What Pendula shows
Pendula hangs ninety-two points of light at the ends of pendulums, arranged in a grid in the dark. Each swings at its own length: together they draw waves, spirals and figures that form and dissolve.
The pendulums are tuned to fall back in phase on the beat: the figure comes back together exactly in time. A minimal, hypnotic world for minimal electronic, ambient and neoclassical music.
