108 Harmonics

The programme ticket will include same-day access to General Admission exhibitions (excluding Special Exhibition). Please retain a copy of your ticket to facilitate your entry to the galleries.

‘108 Harmonics’ is a Singing Bowl Sound Collection Project developed by artist Tsang Man-tung and his team Allpamama that presents singing bowl sounds collected and reproduced with minimal music arrangement, showcasing the diverse tones of singing bowls of various types and from different years.

We invite you to embark on a calming journey through the resonating tones of the singing bowls in a series of programmes commissioned by M+ including self-guided meditation tours, live performances, and workshops. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the sound of the singing bowl while exploring the harmonic resonances between sound and space within M+’s tranquil atmosphere. Experience being in the present and find inner peace through the engagement with art and the museum.

Transcending the boundaries of a typical singing bowl performance, ‘Sonic Tranquillity’ is a profound journey of self-exploration where the sounds of singing bowls complement the visual elements in artist Tsang Man-tung’s first solo performance, combining sounds and drama.

In the serene setting of the museum, the enchanting melodies of 108 Harmonics embrace the entire space, creating a meditative experience. The performance delves into the transformative power of sound, weaving together the enchanting sounds of singing bowls, the soothing melodies of nature, and the atmospheric layers of electronic music. You will be offered a unique exploration of the connection between human and nature, leading to a mindful and harmonic experience beyond a performance.
