Pierre Charrié, Surfaces Sonores. View of the installation at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. Le Tambour Augmenté showcases an instrument with unusual dimensions manufactured by a
drum maker. Geometric patterns drawn by the sand (Chladni figures) change depending on
the pitch of the notes played by acoustic vibrators attached under the membrane. The sand
reacts to acoustic waves and thus reveals the effect of sound on matter
