Halo

Illumaphonium (UK)

A series of interactive musical towers contain circular ‘halos’ which detect and respond to you; the closer you are, the brighter and louder they become. Using the notes from a pentatonic scale (the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th notes of a major scale), all the sounds work in harmony together.
