About the Item

Playfully referencing outdoor rock-shaped speakers, this bronze-cast music box reinterprets a mountain stone from the outskirts of Mexico City, transforming it into a listening stone for interiors. The piece explores the dialogue between sound and sculpture, merging ancient material traditions with contemporary design—a true expression of early than medieval-modern aesthetics. In stone carving, artisans have long pressed their ears against the surface while tapping lightly, listening for hidden fractures and resonant qualities—a practice rooted in medieval craftsmanship. Similarly, the pursuit of sonic perfection in bronze casting dates back to the creation of bells, horns, and cymbals, where metallurgical knowledge shaped the soundscape of cathedrals and battlefields alike. By bridging these historic and industrial techniques, Listening Stone revives the sculptural convention of listening as a form of discovery, transforming space through both sound and form.

The sounds and vibrations can reveal properties in the medium that are hidden from sight; hollows, interior fractures, hardness, and so on. There is an instant feedback from listening to stones when sculpting them; a true conversation with the material.In the tradition of bronze sculpture there has been a pursuit in perfectioning casting techniques in order to achieve better sonic resonance.
