“TORNMUSIK – for sculpture” is a sound sculpture designed by Amina Hocine
Installation, Music “TORNMUSIK – for sculpture” is a sound sculpture designed by Amina Hocine, presented at the Institut suédois in dialogue with a concert at the église du Saint-Esprit (Paris 12) as part of Nuit Blanche. Together, these two forms make up a single project centered on the idea of “vertical music,” exploring time, space, and sonic perception. At the Institut suédois, the work takes the form of a circular organ-based installation. Diffusing sound in every direction, it engages the body in motion and encourages active listening: by moving around the sculpture, the audience transforms its perception and shapes the listening experience through its position in space. The work continues at the église du Saint-Esprit, where the architecture and resonance of the site become integral components of the piece. Amina Hocine is a composer and sound artist living in Stockholm. She is especially known for her work with a self-built modular organ, which she has presented on numerous stages across Europe. Her music draws on immersive textures, minimalist and spiritual foundations, and psychoacoustic effects she calls Sound Crystals. Her work explores the interaction between space and sound, both acoustically and perceptually. She composes works for performers as well as acousmatic pieces. Her most recent work was presented at the FOCUS festival of INA grm in April 2025. Her first instrumental album, ātamōn, was released on the Subtext label in July 2025.
