“Vibration Experience”, is a composition of 20 minutes approx., repeating that evening, is based on Martin’s work on how deaf and hard of hearing people, and the hearing community as well, “experience“ sound or rather vibration.

The piece will utilize repeating and resonating pad of low tones more on the spectrum of vibrations that can be felt. This piece is “interactive” in that the public will be play instruments, that Espino made.

Espino performs on Conch Shell Trumpets the soundwaves can be felt.

The Instruments arranged so audience steps into performance area, where Espino will discuss how to perform the work and how to respect the Instruments.
