As part of the project WITHIN, Tarek Atoui has developed nine new instruments and a sound massage kit which expanded notions of hearing, beyond orality and are activated on the occasion of concerts and exhibitions.

Iterations on Drums is a set of four percussion tables that focus on conducting sound through solid materials such as metal and wood rather than air. This way, the sound they produce is felt in the hands of the player before reaching his/ her ears. Initially imagined by Thierry Madiot, the design of these tables was enhanced by Tarek Atoui and students at the Nordahl Grieg high school in Bergen (Norway) and nalized at Lutherie Urbaine in Montreuil (Paris). ¹
