WORKSHOP May 2023
BBQ XYLOPYROPHONE - OVEN CONSTRUCTION
with Laurent Tixador, for the 15th edition of La Quinzaine radieuse.
Help build a sound-producing oven from mud bricks: xylopyrophone. The play will be activated on Saturday 17 June at the opening of La Quinzaine radieuse.
Shovels, spades, trowels, buckets, a big pile of clay, a big bag of sand, used as a mould to build the perfectly spherical dome, chestnut and softwood firewood: this is the list of materials that will be used to build the Pyroxylophone, a flared alandern oven which, thanks to this particular feature, will metamorphose into a musical instrument. Spruce concerto or larch symphony to be expected.
