Furniture Music is a project by Chris Kallmyer and was created to redesign the sounds of the home. The work is shaped by Chris’ fifteen years of studio practice as an artist and musician in Los Angeles. From this perspective, Furniture Music creates sounding home goods and research-based projects for active listeners, architectural applications, and to promote social well-being through sound.

Featured in the New Yorker and The New York Times, FM’s wind chimes have a tone characterized as “surprisingly complex” by the music writer, Alex Ross. New works are based on evolving studio harmonies incorporating open folk tunings and ambient compositions.

Furniture Music collaborates directly with architects, individuals, and cultural institutions on projects that use sound as a tool to address the relationship between people and the land they call home. Recent projects include a fountain to mark the home and studio of The Blind Potter, copper chimes for the iconic California design studio, Commune, and a redwood amphitheater for a public elementary school.

Furniture Music is located on the Silver Penny Farm in Sonoma County, California. Visitors welcome.
