Tarek Atoui: a vast sound installation for the Turbine Hall.

Hyundai Commission: Tarek Atoui is an exhibition at Tate Modern that fills the Turbine Hall with a new large-scale installation by sound artist and composer Tarek Atoui. The Lebanese-born artist works with instrument-makers, researchers, engineers and musicians, and turns the hall into a vast sonic landscape where ancient families of instruments meet electronic technologies. Wind passes through suspended bamboo pipes playing shengs and mouth organs, mechanised mallets strike Korean drums, and Uzbek karnai horns and 3D-printed horns sound alongside textiles that oscillate in the wind currents. Visitors can wander, sit or lie on stones that vibrate with sound, while custom software reworks the sampled sounds so the soundscape never repeats itself.
