<\/a>\nGreen Diary<\/a><\/em> highlights artist Luke Jerram’s new\u00a0project “Aeolus<\/a>,” which\u00a0seeks to\u00a0capture the sound of wind passing through a landscape. According to Green Diary<\/em>, Jerram\u00a0received an\u00a0\u00a3225K grant from the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council<\/a>\u00a0(EPRSC)\u00a0to\u00a0create and tour Aeolus, an exploration of acoustics,\u00a0wind, and architecture, which\u00a0was inspired by a\u00a0tour\u00a0of\u00a0desert wells in Iran that one local well-digger said sung in the wind.\u00a0The artist\u00a0has created a range of\u00a0sculptures, installations, and live art projects, including the Plant Orchestra<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Aeolian wind harps were seen by Jerram\u00a0as the best tools for capturing the sound of wind. “Long tensioned strings will resonate with the wind and will be heard by visitors inside the space. The ambition is to sonify the three dimensional landscape of wind. The public will be able to visualise this shifting wind map from within the space by interpreting the sound around them.”<\/p>\n
The piece will\u00a0consist of\u00a0components that\u00a0explore light, including “hundreds of light pipes which both draw the landscape of light into the building and hum at a series of low frequencies. The tubes act to frame and magnify the landscape so that from inside the structure, at its centre, visitors can see through one hundred of these pipes simultaneously, contemplating an ever changing landscape of light.”<\/p>\n
The installation\u00a0features a\u00a0specially designed architectural space that\u00a0will resonate and sing with the wind. EPRSC and the engineering groups of University of Southampton (ISVR) and University of Salford are involved and funding the project because they hope to learn more about how to make audible wind noises without electrical power or amplification.<\/p>\n
The temporary\u00a0installation will tour\u00a0sites in the\u00a0UK and elsewhere, and each location’s unique wind and landscape sound will be recorded.<\/p>\n
