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.

The kit is a synthesis of Madiot’s 16 years of work with sound massage techniques and practices to expand our experience of sound, through the ears or through the body. This kit is more then an instrument. It can be used therapeutically, recreationally, artistically and/or pedagogically, and functions as a device where several persons play for one listener laying on a special table. ¹
