After thinking about using pipes within my project, I remembered a sculptural work I saw a few years ago when visiting Zadar. The Croatian city is right on the sea front and one of the things that originally attracted me to visiting it was its Sea Organ. The organ is placed right infront of the sea and plays music from the water. The Sea Organ is really magical, it projects its sounds through the movement of the sea...The organ was an experimental musical instrument, designed by architect Nikola Basic. The organ plays the sea waves using pipes that are installed hidden underneath the large steps leading to the sea. This sonic sculpture is amazing because it is constant, it is completely tied to the elements and creates the most wonderful natural sounds. I would also like to work with pipes to increase the sonic experience within my degree show space and to give a sense of musical tones and to emphasize the sonic vibrations within the space...
