The work HARMONY was an audience participatory experimental music performance where visitors were invited to play music together based on a composition by Hassan Al Narjes . He was taking advantage by an auditory illusion caused by something called shepard tones . It consists of several tones separated by an octave and layered on top of each other . Visitors could bring a tone in and out within a group of different sounds . For Hassan , the group of sounds represent the society and the tones are the people . A society consists of members with different ethnics and believes . Through the interaction with the tones and between people he wanted to let people understand the significance of harmony between society members .
