Cordiox

availability unknown, if interested please write an email

Cordiox, by Ariel Guzik, is a complex machine, four meters in height, which describes the environment through sound.

This machine emits a subtle, tonally expansive crystalline cadence, thereby creating a unique listening experience. (Englisch)
