Earth Harp inventor William Close has carved a singular niche combining sound and sculpture to craft new kinds of instrumental art. While his global concerts garnered a celebrity following, accurate recordings eluded him until he teamed with Antelope Audio to more expressively capture the unusual sounds of his creations.
A hush fell over the Burning Man crowd as a man high atop a platform glided gloved hands across several thick strings tethered between the stage-mounted instrument chamber and an architectural installation over 100 feet away. A sound emerged slowly—deep, undulating waves, like a celestial cello—that washed over the audience.
