Artists Makes Orchestra Based Upon Astrological Positioning of Her Birth reports Insightful Psychics

(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, December 07, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- If astrology is a method of spirituality to be believed, our personality traits then have been determined by the positions of the planets at the time of our birth. Artists Katie Grinnan recently created a way to bring the concept to life with cultures and music.



Grinnan created nine unique musical instruments that are representations of the plants at the instance of her birth. She held a performance to which each instrument was played by someone who had the corresponding birth sign. For example, Grinnan has Venus in Libra, so the Venus instrument is played by her friend who is a Libra; fellow artists Alice Konitz. Grinnan played the instrument representing earth.



The project, titled Astrology Orchestra, was conceived and executed through an exhausting attention to detail and symetrics, which is an unmistakable trait of a Virgo, Ginnan’s sign.



Astrology charts show how planets align at precise times of birth. The instruments Ginnan created are similar in look to African drums, but are comprised with lute strings across the flat surfaces. The performers are asked to pluck the strings that represent aspects crossing each plant. The instruments are also tuned to reflect the frequency of the planet’s rotational spin. It is all a bit complicated, but meticulously followed by Grinnan.



The Astrology Orchestra has planned three performances. The first of which took place in Jun at Mount Wilson Observatory, underneath a 60-inch telescope. The performance was part of the KNOWLEDGES arts festival. The second was on the beach as part of the Hammer Museum’s Venice Beach Biennial. The final performance took place at Integratron, an acoustically perfect building in Joshua Tree. The structure is comprised entirely of shaped wood, and holds no nails in its construct.



Each site was chosen for a particular ‘flavor’ of performance. Each lended itself to a particular type and feeling of sound: scientific, spiritual, chaotic.



When asked if she truly believe in astrology, Grinnan stated "Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't -- I believe it when it's accurate!" she laughed. "It's always been a part of my life -- my mom used to read my horoscopes to me when I was little, and I'm a big fan now of Susan Miller's Astrology Zone. But I like having a looser relationship to it. I think what the Astrology Orchestra performances show, in fact, is how fluid the personality is and how perception shapes subjectivity."
