Omphalos

Omphalos is a monolithic drum with a semi-parabolic shape. Figure is painted at the centre of its membrane.

Omphalos produces the sound “O” (zero): a vibration of low frequency sound.

The repetition of the sound “O” produces an acoustic sequence called Omphalos Mantra.

Omphalia is a musical composition which utilises the sound “O” and its variations.

Constructed in Los Angeles in 1999 with REMO materials and technology, it is a one-off piece. Omphalos is the centre of Labyrinth and the sound manifestation of Figure.
