For the official foundation ceremony of the Bavarian Capital of Munich mbeam received a very special assignment. To a specially composed bell concert by the Munich cathedral chapelmaster Karl-Ludwig Nies a bridge between light and sound was to be built on the facade of St. Peter’s Church. Former director of tourism Dr. Weishäupl: “Right in time for the anniversary a symbol of Munich is pulled out of our everyday perception and becomes a new sensual experience. This way probably the most popular church in Munich, shrouded in legend and sung in the songs, becomes an almost spiritual new dimension.”
How can one make sound visible? How does light sound?
The lighting art concept “LightBellsSound” transforms the sound of 7 bells directly into light with various colors and shapes. Each bell tells its own story in a particular tone pitch and intensity. You can see light lines dancing to the vibes of the bell sound from the observation desk of St. Peters’ Church.
