everyone can play their own sound poems

I’m keeping wonder why’s most of the sound performances and exhibitions I saw are talking within noises more, can I create a thing that everyone will be able to play, to enjoy sound arts, but it’s in euphonic, dulcet expression.

The artist Harry Bertoia inspired me a lot, he is a sound art sculptor, his work is not built in complicated way, and everyone will enjoy to have a try.

As he said, while bending wire, Bertoia developed an interest in sound. The thin strand of metal, when it snapped and struck another wire, vibrated and generated sound. What would happen if combined these wires and created a symphony out of the striking of one wire against another?

This resulted in a number of sonics sculptures, works of art that reverberate when touched and moved. Betroia loved and thought that no musical education or knowledge was necessary for these sculptures. Bertoia considered himself to be somewhere in between a musician and a sculptor.
