Description

The Uttara holds the potential of the magnum opus of the sound stones. Its 12 ribs and the specifically calculated angle somehow come close to a scalar arrangement from the deepest to the highest tone. Even while we are not looking into musical, tonal tuning, as this is technically anyway not possible, it is still rewarding to have the option of sliding up and down the full range of single tones. But the true magic of the sound stones unfolds in the dense complexity of the combination of frequencies and timbres, in the layers of harmonic rich micro-tonality and completely surprising sound clusters emerging from the solid mass.

The adventure of uncovering these hidden sound treasures is just at its very beginning.
