Ziegel-o-phon

Exhibition show

For the roof tile manufacturer Erlus, generally everything is all about clay as a material. The “acoustic” aspect appears irrelevant to tile production at first glance. But that is wrong. In the Erlus factory, an employee tests the quality of a finished tile by its sound. From this came a crazy idea: the “tile-o-phone”. It’s an instrument similar to a xylophone – but with roof tiles. Under the musical guidance of film musician Ilja Pollach, one of Germany’s best percussionists Roland Peil and his colleague Holger Mertin brought all-new sounds from the clay. Roland Peil works with the band “Die Fantastischen Vier” and others.
