1) Whispering Dishes - Public Space for Play, Learning and Wonder, San Francisco
The Whispering Dishes are concrete shells that amplify sound, so that if you sit in one and your partner sits in the other and you can keep up a conversation at little more than a murmur. Musicians have discovered that each dish is a personal amphitheater.
2) The soundwave - Xiangyang, China
The visitors of this installation are greeted by over 500 bright purple fins, which are dotted with LEDs and play traditional Chinese music from internal speakers. The purple pillars of varying heights are intended to represent the rising and falling bars of a digital sound visualiser that synchronises with crescendos and diminuendos in music. Music, Rhythm and Dance in combination with the surrounding Landscape were the main parameters shaping ‘the Soundwave’. The brightness of the light and volume of the music are controlled by motion sensors around the site, activated by the movement of passers by.
3) The 21 Swings (or Balançoires) - Montreal, Canada
The interactive, music art installation makes people feeling like kids again as they can swing back and forth, creating musical melodies.
