Swiss composer, musician and producer Don Li brings Cosmotonic Experience to the LAC, an immersive concert-installation housed in an inflatable structure of his own design. For around six hours, an ensemble of eight musicians and one performer transform the space into an open soundscape that visitors can move freely through.

The Cosmotonic Experience project transforms the LAC square into an immersive soundscape, open to the public. At its centre is Sphera: an inflatable structure designed by Don Li that hosts a concert-installation lasting around six hours, freely accessible and to be experienced in different ways: whilst standing still or moving about, entering and leaving the space.
​​​​​​​An internationally active clarinettist, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, Don Li was, in the second half of the 1990s, one of the initiators – alongside the Tonus collective – of a distinctive experimental movement on the Swiss scene, in which improvisation and other jazz stylistic elements intertwined with minimalism, funk and hypnotic, ritualistic music. Over the years, he has developed a personal artistic vision in which the influences of his many interests – ranging from metaphysics to ancient Eastern disciplines, spiritualism and the various forms of minimalism – converge, giving rise to projects that transcend the conventional format and ritual of the concert to explore expanded forms and ever-changing soundscapes.
Within the installation, an ensemble of eight musicians and a performer create a musical flow that evolves over time, without a linear structure, inviting a personal and non-hierarchical listening experience.
At the heart of Don Li’s work lies the idea of music as an open-ended experience, capable of questioning and transcending boundaries. Sound thus becomes a space to be inhabited rather than merely observed, an environment in which the listening experience is freely constructed and continually renewed over time.
