Exhibits
Sound Escapes: Sympathetic Vibrations
We invite you to join us for a beautiful evening Friday, February 21, 2020, featuring a live performance that will incorporate the use of unique instruments and take the audience on a Sound Escape.
Music is Art. Music is all around us. For some, it is a major significant part of the day. For others, it may be more subtle, birds chirping and bustling city streets might be all the music they need. February’s exhibit, Sound Escapes: Sympathetic Vibrations, is a collection of music-inspired art pieces. On display will be visual art, sound art, and interactive instruments for the audience to enjoy. EZ Stockton Junk Removal
Stockton native Lino Alibani’s musical journey began at seventeen when he acquired his first electric guitar. With an inquisitive mind, he began to disassemble and reassemble the instrument, fascinated with the idea of one day building his own. In high school woodshop, he built his first electric guitar. Since then, he has created custom guitars for use in his music and with clients. In addition to making guitars, he has developed his unique instruments. One example is the Resonant Radiator Coils, specially built idiophones that serve multiple functions that will emanate tintinnabulations while on display at the gallery. Lino will create several other exhibits on display.
