What Next

I've been thinking lots about intimacy through sound- 
ways of having intimacy with a stranger without using words. I'm thinking of some kind of invention that makes a sound only when manipulated by two people at the same time. My ideal would be some kind of horn - like wind instrument that needs two people to be blowing into it simultaneously. Ideally what this mechanism would do would be to bring two people to stand opposite each other, making eye contact, being forced to take deep in- breaths, big out breaths, and feel the vibrations course through them, therapeutically, meditatively. The most crucial aspect of this is that the mechanism needs two people for it to operate. At this point I don't even know what material I would make this instrument out of. I'd like it to be big. A great example is this circular flute, but the sound of this is not actually dependant on their being multiple people, just the using/lifting of it. Made by Studio BrynJar.
I like the idea of the instrument being something cicular, so that someone could be in the middle and bathe in the sound.
