The Pineapple Project

Подробнее о видео

In 2018 artist Savinder Bual created a series of visually striking instruments played with spinning pineapple tops. When played the pineapple top spins and its leaves pluck the strings to create sound.

With her we created a unique project that brought together people from all over Bristol, who were brought together over the course of five rehearsals, to perform with Savinder's custom made pineapple instruments.

The project was an artistic response to the decision to reopen Colston Hall in 2020 with a new name. It culminated in a free public performance in Colston Hall's Foyer.
