Rainlith 2.0 captures the movement of the audience and reacts to this by moving it’s large rain-stick around. The sound of the stick is processed in real-time and fed back to the room via speakers. The nice thing about this kinetic sound installation is how it combines the acoustic sound of the rain-stick with electronic sounds, blending together both sound worlds.

The installation, created by Rui Gato, is located in an old grain silo, which seems to be like a perfect situation for a piece like this, as the sounds blend together perfectly, due to the acoustic properties of the silo.
