Mechanical Hymns

Mechanical Hymns is a project that repurposes machines and mechanical elements into instruments, sound sculptures, and interactive installations using machines, industrial materials, and other media.

Mechanical Hymns interrogates our assumptions about the nature of noise, machine sounds, music, and mechanical silence.

Developed with the support of What Lab, an early stage protoype was workshopped with the support of BC Arts Council on April 25th and 26th 2025.
