0606_0093 Long aeolian piano
Summer skies remembered - in this instance a surreal sky that was in fact frightening - it was spitting lightning - but I had to run out and make this shot! The long aeolian piano was an installation left by a dance troupe at the Convent Country Inn in Val Marie, Saskatchewan, in 2004, following a performance in Grasslands National Park. Long wires were attached to its back and linked to a nearby pole, so that the wind would vibrate them and the sound would resonate through the piano itself. Very unusual. After several winters the piano finally crumbled to pieces, but the "vibes" remain.
