Singing bowls, categorized as standing bells, originate from central Asia and have existed since 500BC. They are primarily used to reduce stress, in therapy, as part of religious practices and are considered to be an important instrument in ambient and world music. The bowls vibrate when hit by a mallet and the sound will continue to reverberate if the mallet is rotated around the outside rim.

With «Singing Bowls» the aim is to introduce the meditative sounds of the bowls to public space, as opposed to the somewhat private nature of most singing bowl-related practices. The work is an open invitation to a relaxing listening experience right in the middle of the buzzing center of Oslo.

The recording of sounds is a collaboration with artist Lona Hansen.
