ZIMOUN

A friend shared this video with me today....and now I'm having trouble concentrating on anything else!

There are certain rhythmic sounds that I love (the click-clack of shoes hitting the platform floor at the 53rd street E train station, the sound of rain hitting a window pane during a storm...). Swiss artist Zimoun seems similarly taken with certain sounds, and has created "sound sculptures" that he compiled into a short video.

Beautifully shot against white and black backgrounds, the machines that the Swiss artist built create the most lovely orchestra.

Check out the video above...you won't be able to avert your eyes. Or ears.

And see more of his work here.
