According to The New York Times, watching a performance of The Earth Harp Collective is like “being inside a giant cello.” Installation artist William Close explores the connection between architecture and music with strings up to 1,000 ft. long that travel over the audience. The Earth Harp garnered Close a finalist slot on America’s Got Talent and made the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest playable stringed musical instrument.
