Sound Journey was an exploration into how sounds produced by an instrument would develop as a work in progress whilst the creation of the instrument was itself in progress. The architects involved in the design of the structure responded to the natural environment and to resonances of materials. The composer responded in turn to the structure conceptualised by sound artist Baudouin Oosterlynck and created by students of the National University of Singapore in 2006. The process comes full circle and the structure itself responds to nature.

Quote
Sound Journey gives Casteels the opportunity to forge new ground by writing for an instrument that has yet to be born, as yet non-existent. The work is then a journey  of exploration, into how sound  produced by the instrument would develop as work on it progresses.
