Stone sculptures
Danny Becher
While working on stone I am always listening to how it sounds. Every stone has its own sound and pitch depending on the density and structure of the stone.
work in progress:
Om Mani Padme Hum is a six-syllable mantra in Tibetan Buddhism, famously known as the “Jewel in the Lotus,” symbolizing compassion and wisdom on the path to enlightenment, representing the transformation of impure body, speech and mind into pure Buddha-like qualities through the unity of method (compassion) and wisdom
ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ
The mantra is particularly associated with the four-armed Shadakshari form of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.
Stone works
every stone has its own sound when working on it. Depending on the density of the stone one hears higher or lower sounds when carving or hammering on that stone. Granite stone has the highest frequency when working on it, since it is so dense. Crystalyzed marble sounds more musical to me than normal white marble. So even working with stone becomes a musical experience to me. – Many of my works in stone are related to vibrational patterns of sound.
Fundamental of a sound
Fundamental + ocatve sound
Fundamental + octave + fifth
