Stella Artois Launches “The Chalice Symphony”

No Comments Share:

Stella Artois the rather lovely Belgian beer have launched The Chalice Symphony – a year-long collaboration between craftsman Andy Cavatorta and indie rock band Cold War Kids exploring the beautiful sounds of the signature Stella Artois Chalice.
Instruments
Inspired by his previous work with singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Björk – where music was created by harnessing forces of nature with new technology – Andy Cavatorta has crafted a quartet of instruments inspired by elements of Stella Artois’ signature glassware. These include:

• The Hive which takes its name from the instrument’s unique shape and sound, resembling a soft xylophone.
• The Pyrophone which adds depth to the symphony with a deep whistling sound, like a boat horn.
• The Star Harp which uses robotics to play a harp-like sound using strings and the Stella Artois Chalice. “Stella” means “star” in Latin.
• The Violina which leverages a higher-pitched string sound, resembling a violin for the symphony.

This month, iconic rock band Cold War Kids have debuted the instruments in a new single called “A Million Eyes”, a soulful ballad which incorporates the unique sounds from the Stella Artois Chalice.
The music video and story behind the concept and craftsmanship have been captured in a stunning series of short films which are available to watch at www.youtube.com/user/stellaartoisuk. The “A Million Eyes” track is available for download at www.stellaartois.com/en/global/coldwarkids, iTunes and Spotify.
The results are pretty amazing, I was already a fan of Cold War Kids but I;m truly impressed by what they have achieved with Andy’s fantastic instruments.
