So, one day the weather was reasonable as was the light.
We decided to go on a Busman's holiday (A vacation during which one engages in activity that is similar to one's usual work.) LOL!
We drove towards the East Coast, into Lancashire, towards Manchester and Liverpool.
We had heard about The Singing Ringing Tree, part of The Panopticons, a visionary scheme to create a unique series of 21st century landmarks across East Lancashire, as symbols of the renaissance of the area.
The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered musical sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennine mountain range overlooking Burnley.
This musical element is created by the wind whistling through its 'branches', which are in fact galvanised steel pipes carefully tuned to ensure that the tree sings in harmony.
Eventually we found it, wanted the 'later light' anyway...
There was not that much wind, but now and than we did hear the haunting sounds:
Completed in 2006, it is part of the series of four sculptures within the Panopticons arts and regeneration project created by the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN).
Designed by architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu of Tonkin Liu, the Singing Ringing Tree is a 3 metre tall construction comprising pipes of galvanised steel which harness the energy of the wind to produce a slightly discordant and penetrating choral sound covering a range of several octaves.
Some of the pipes are primarily structural and aesthetic elements, while others have been cut across their width enabling the sound.
The harmonic and singing qualities of the tree were produced by tuning the pipes according to their length by adding holes to the underside of each.
Thank you, M, (*_*)
