The Harmonic Tree is a new artwork / musical instrument that resembles an exotic plant, with steel strings, percussive fruit and berries. Beneath the surface it houses an array of audio effects processors, all adjustable by tending to twigs, branches and other parts of the tree, enabling an operator to create electroacoustic soundscapes.
Viewable daily from 9am - 4pm.
Musicians play daily from 10.30am - 11.30am and 12.30pm - 1.30pm.
Entry is free, drop in any time.
There are also two free feature events on Friday 2nd and Friday 9th of October at 7.30pm (registration essential, visit https://www.loemis.nz/harmonic-tree to reserve a spot).
