Astrology worship are to be believed, in our personality depends largely on the position of the nine planets in our birth moment. Artist Katie Grinnan recently found a way, through sculpture and musical performances, the conceit of life: she created a unique musical instrument, at the moment she was born, to represent the position of the nine planets. She then held performances, each instrument played a friend of the Lunar New Year with the position of the planets, so, for example, because the Grinnan Venus in Libra, Venus instrument played her Libra friend and artist Alice KONITZ. The Grinnan own on behalf of the Earth from the instrument.
Worth mentioning that the conception and execution of this project, the so-called astrology Orchestra, gives a detailed and systematic attention to detail Virgo, is the unmistakable imprint - Grinnan logo. Standard astrological birth chart, indicating how all the planets from the exact location of a person born in the Earth; Grinnan dig Figure from the point of view of the other planets, when she was born, to do some serious networking. Representative of the instrument, she created a large African drums like the lute strings criss-crossing the flat surface mapping intricately carved. Performing picking string that represents the various aspects of each planet and adjust to reflect the frequency of rotation of each planet. Yes, this is a bit complicated.
The Grinnan plans the total astrology Orchestra performances. The first time in June at the Mount Wilson Observatory Haier 60-inch telescope just below, part of the Arts Festival of knowledge. Part of the second occurred at the beach last month, the Hammer Museum in Venice Beach Biennial. The third and final performance took place in this past Saturday the Integratron travel, acoustically perfect building is entirely based on the Joshua Tree shaped wood, did not use nails.

The shiny brass breakthrough, the instrument on behalf of the sun at the moment of the birth of Katie Grinnan.
Each of these special places have given a special flavor to the performance, whether it is a long history of scientific basis, the confusion in the Venice Beach public noise and interactive Mount Wilson or hippie. The Integratron travel, a visionary engineer and UFO enthusiasts appointment of George Van Tassel claimed to have received special instructions from Venus tourists, was built in 1954, can be said to be the most special website, it is located in a magnetic eddy current, its perfect shape channel frequency, tissue revitalization.
Peddle expensive sound bath, body and spirit healing, but Grinnan band crowd of art lovers the ability of three short free performances at the scene. The Grinnan performance design rules are complex. On the surface of each instrument is a pie chart represents the 12 houses of the zodiac;, the lute strings may or may not be across a specific pie slices, according to various aspects of the planet. Musicians always in the first house, Aries, only picking time at home each string, but the order is entirely by them if there is no house, what they do not do. A metronome, sports and manipulate a bell chime bells every ten shot everyone is transferred to the next house. Continue to do so until their own metronome stops beating.

The nine planets of the solar system on behalf of musical instruments.
I do not know if I feel any treatment in the last Saturday a performance occurred after dusk. But I did not get a sense, in music Spacey atonalities, complex belief system is rendered into a tangible form (tool), and then released into the atmosphere by the magic weapon of the (sound). The players basically "play" Grinnan birth chart, but they also manipulate wound their favorite pieces to play a role. Grinnan in a telephone interview, she reflects, there is a reciprocity between "you shape the environment, the environment shape you." It is also worth mentioning shapes and materials the Integratron travel mirror tool, also made a statement to its base, bending wood is a coincidence, or fate?
I asked Grinnan If she really believe in astrology. "Sometimes I do, sometimes I do not know - I believe it is accurate," she laughed. "This has been a part of my life - my mom to see my character to me, when I was little, I am a big fan of Susan Miller's Astrology Zone, but I like it a loose relationship astrology Orchestra shows, in fact, is the personality of the fluid is how we perceive the shape of the main body.
Katie Grinnan astrology Orchestra performing arts groups LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) held. The land will also install an exhibition, which will include the instrument, Figure Figure show the video, and a Grinnan research projects.
