Concrete Sonic Instruments, Interactive Game with casted cubes of concrete and iron, SUM has been developed between 2014 and 2017 by Niko de Paula Lefort and Jonas Hummel, with the support of the 3DMIN research program at UDK / TU Berlin between 2014 and 2017.
SUM moves the paradigm of music making back to its essential PLAY.With its simple design, SUM is the rebirth of the intuitive and experimental child versus the performer virtuoso. Yet, with its infinite variations of sonic outcome, it challenges the most complex and refined instruments.
SUM can be played alone or together without more rules than the ones implied by the game design, players, the context, and the musical outcome, guided by the listening experience.
