Hearing Stone

An erratic block weighing about 10 tons serves as the source for a sound composition. From a narrow circumferential cut, the sound wave emerges from the stone and reaches the surrounding area. The transformation from a colossal stone to a hearing stone places the material in an unusual time reference and thus shifts the acute dominance of its weight. A peculiar lightness emerges.
