These eight large scale  sculptures are installed at various locations around the world, and  interact with natural forces like the wind and the rain to create  soothing music. Let’s hear them. Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley   The  Singing Ringing Tree in Burnley, in Lancashire, England, is 3-meter  tall and comprises of galvanised steel pipes of differing lengths and  with holes punctured into the underside. When the wind blows, the  sculptures produces an eerie sound in several octaves. Completed in  2006, the Singing Ringing Tree is part of the series of four sculptures  within the Panopticons arts and regeneration project created by the East  Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN).   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7A0LLkBaJmE/Vrd8A305q9I/AAAAAAABLgA/iL-Y6i2ISoU/singing-ringing-tree-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vFnKvk236uY/Vrd8CGirmlI/AAAAAAABLgE/FeJB3YO2skA/singing-ringing-tree-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]4B0hGyKV9qs[/YOUTUBE] Aeolus Wind Pavilion, London   The Aeolus Wind Pavilion stands  at London's Canary Wharf and is composed of 310 stainless steel tubes  that terminate in a double-curved arch which visitors can enter for a  unique aural experience. Many of the tubes are connected to strings  attached to a membrane on their outer end that transmits wind-generated  sound into the arch and to listening posts situated nearby. The wind  causes the strings to vibrate which are projected down through the tubes  to the listener underneath the arch. Even on windless days, the tubes  produce a hum at low frequencies.The sculpture was made by British artist Luke Jerram.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o4b55v3hhVY/Vrd8DXHPtkI/AAAAAAABLgI/XWgadyNn3iE/aeolus-wind-pavilion-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sJYghFhYe88/Vrd8EsEv6rI/AAAAAAABLgM/aBQOVsQzZyg/aeolus-wind-pavilion-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]AynhY5A-iVQ[/YOUTUBE] Sound Garden, Seattle   The Sound Garden lies on the campus of  the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), adjacent to  the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington. Designed and built  by sculptor Douglas Hollis during the early 1980s, the Sound Garden  features 12 steel towers that look like cell-phone towers, inside of  which hangs organ pipes of varying lengths that produce low tones when  the wind blows around and through them. At the top of the towers,  horizontal steel vanes catch the wind and rotate the pipes. However due  to its poor condition one only hears tones when there is a strong breeze  blowing.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yluNEDHbki4/Vrd8Fel_BuI/AAAAAAABLgQ/9yqDXG-g8_o/sound-garden-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]1aGUPZc53cQ[/YOUTUBE] Sea Organ, Zadar   The Sea Organ in the coastal Croatian town  of Zadar consist of thirty-five organ pipes hidden under the concrete  steps leading to the shore line. The perpetual movement of the waves and  wind pushes air in and out of the pipes to produce a variety of musical  notes that can be heard changing as one moves along the promenade. The  sculpture was made by the architect Nikola Bašić as part of the project  to redesign the new city coast.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--eWWmg_b-Mo/Vrd8Gl4kiJI/AAAAAAABLgU/KCcc0VdFgIA/sea-organ-zadar-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o0k3CSbjoNI/Vrd8HdeP-iI/AAAAAAABLgY/jblgOw7E-R4/sea-organ-zadar-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]pQ9qX8lcaBQ[/YOUTUBE] Wave Organ, San Francisco   The Wave Organ is located on a  jetty that forms the small Boat Harbor in the Marina district of San  Francisco Bay. Designed by artist Peter Richards in collaboration with  sculptor and stone mason George Gonzales, the Wave Organ consist of 25  organ pipes made of PVC and concrete located at various elevations  within the site with their lower end extending to the sea below. A  combination of tides and wave rising and falling pushes air in and out  of the pipes to create gurgling noises. The sound heard at the site is  said to be very subtle, requiring visitors to become sensitized to its  music to hear it. “The trick is to arrive at high tide, sit down, and  shut up,” writes RoadsideAmerica.com.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_TFDe_23EqM/Vrd8IjJvc5I/AAAAAAABLgc/bflVlHJgonY/wave-organ-san-francisco-26.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FAjkguwdjFw/Vrd8J_jhViI/AAAAAAABLgg/lEBbwMBaAGM/wave-organ-san-francisco-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]7uux2HSuLQQ[/YOUTUBE] Blackpool High Tide Organ   The High Tide Organ is 15 meters  tall and was constructed in 2002 as part of "The Great Promenade Show"  series of sculptures situated along Blackpool's New Promenade in the UK.  Attached to the sea wall are eight pipes that are connected to 18 organ  pipes underneath the promenade. At high tide, the swelling water pushes  air up the sea-wall pipes and causes the organ pipes to sound. The best  time to hear the High Tide Organ is two to three hours before or after  high tide. On very calm days the organ remains is silent. The sculpture  was designed by the artists Liam Curtin and John Gooding.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RyeItR6LD8U/Vrd8LNN46JI/AAAAAAABLgk/2EUsWLaqbPE/blackpool-high-tide-organ6.jpg?imgmax=1200" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]QBJJ1jOc-7k[/YOUTUBE] Funnel Wall, Dresden   The Funnel Wall is located in the  neighborhood Kunsthofpassage within Dresden, Germany. On the outside  wall of a large multi-story blue building are a series of metal pipes  and funnels of various sizes that play music when rain water flows from  the roof to the gutters below. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find even a  single audio recording of the Funnel Wall in play.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-h8_wgUtzYeE/Vrd8MZ-JZcI/AAAAAAABLgo/4MFvADLzSho/funnel-wall-dresden-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bOKc7bFRG74/Vrd8NZDO8pI/AAAAAAABLgs/bC6Ut-rH4ZU/funnel-wall-dresden-22.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Windorgel Vlissingen   The Windorgel is another sound  sculpture located in the town of Vlissingen or Flushing in The  Netherland. It consist of several vertically placed bamboo tubes with  holes along its length. It produces a variety of tones when the wind  blows. The original wind chime was built in 1975, but lasted only a  year, washed away by a storm. The second one was built shortly after the  first one was destroyed. Unfortunately, the second wind organ was  destroyed by vandals in 1981 resulting in the third and current wind  organ to be built in 1983.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MuV4n0zXiv0/Vrd8OqZi2EI/AAAAAAABLgw/paCJQcBquSs/windorgel-vlissingen-12.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> [YOUTUBE]bvtWL-5hyqM[/YOUTUBE] Other Sound Sculptures   Aside from these eight sculptures  there are probably dozens of smaller and lesser known sound sculptures  in all corners of the world. Here are some that you might want to check  out. <ul style="text-align: center"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sound sculpture at Seal Point, San Mateo, California</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wind Harp in South San Francisco</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Pod in Portland, Oregon</li> </ul></blockquote>
