Xala is the first floor-xylophone in the world. This unique instrument was created in 1998/99 by dancer and music performer Ania Losinger in cooperation with inventor and instrument designer Hamper von Niederhäusern. You can hear and see a part of Don Li's one hour composition with XALA and String Quartet. TONUS-MUSIC is a musical and compositional concept of reduction and repetition. Of interest are the elements of metric and the linking and the balancing of rhythmical structures in combination with musical asceticism and meditation.
