Wind chime is a poetic concept that has driven many generations of romantics crazy. After all, this one sounds so beautiful - wind chime! And, meanwhile, the music of the wind can really be heard with the help of a kind of musical instrument - the aeolian harp. And now, with the help of its new version, which combines sound and light.
In the middle of the nineteenth century, an amazing instrument was created in England - the aeolian harp. It is a stringed musical instrument that transforms the blows of the wind into vibrations of the strings. The sound in it changes depending on the strength of the wind - from soft and gentle to very loud.
But the artist Luke Jerram (Luke Jerram) decided to modernize this musical instrument, make it larger and more unusual, and combine music and light into a kind of light music. Externally, the pavilion for listening to natural light music, created by Luke Gerrard looks like a huge hedgehog or porcupine bristling with metal needles. In order to listen to the audio-light effect conceived by the author, a person needs to get inside this pavilion.
Depending on which side the wind is blowing from, one or another aeolian harp will play, many of which make up the “hedgehog's needles”. And so that the viewer and the listener inside, it was clear where exactly he hears the sound, each of the pipes is illuminated while playing with light, the brightness of which depends on the strength of the wind that has hit one or another aeolian harp.
According to Luc Gerrard himself, his invention was created in order for a person to better understand the nature of this world, its melody, beauty and natural harmony. With his light and music pavilion, he plans to travel all over the UK before leaving it for a permanent exhibition in one of the museums.
