weather station - sound sculpture at the London Underground
Weather Station' is a site specific sound installation for the London Underground.The functioning principle of the sound sculpture is based on the interaction between wind and the installment. The 'Weather Station' requires no external source of power, the only source of power is the wind which is triggering the sounds.
The wind occurrence in some of the tube stations and the qualities of it that we have observed promised an opportunity for a piece of art that would be unique and related to the conditions of the Underground environment only. The various sound sculptures previously created by other artists explored the opportunities of random wind, whereas here the wind is 'limited' to being scheduled and bidirectional.
The 'Weather Station' is the name of the project and suggests a humorous comparison of natural and manmade forces and a need for forecasting.
The forecasting comes as an unexpected sound message produced through the process of the wind flow passing the channels of the sound sculpture. Changes in the level and the harmony of the sound informs about the approaching train.
The aim of a real weather observation station is to record the meteorological data and atmospheric changes. Here the aim is to sonify the wind related data and its changes and turn it into music.

Ujino Muneteru
Ujino Muneteru turns mechanical sounds into complex rhythms. For Art Forum 2010, Ujino Muneteru has reconstructed his sound sculpture Plywood City, which he first created in 2008 for his solo exhibition Crossband at PSM, Berlin.
On the opening day of Art Forum Berlin, VernissageTV met with Sabine Schmidt (Director, PSM Berlin) who provides us with an introduction to the work of Ujino Muneteru.
"Bored by the technical limits of conventional instruments, Ujino, a guitarist and bassist himself, experiments with new sounds. Different resonant bodies widen the spectrum of timbre; the sound of simple mechanical motors is used to produce new tones. In particular domestic appliances, tools, and large machinery from the fifties to the seventies are employed for their mechanical simplicity and physicality. Japanese Noise Music, a sound movement from the eighties, influenced by John Cage and the Fluxus movement, is referenced in Ujino's productions.
The title of the sound sculpture now presented at the Art Forum Berlin refers to a part of Tokyo, which is built form wood and is colloquially known as Plywood City. Ujino has constructed a wooden model ciy, which is animated by kinetic objects and sound. The basis of Plywood City is formed with art transport crates.
Ujino Muneteru 宇治野宗輝 (born in 1964) lives and works in Tokyo. He earned his B.A. in craft from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1988. He has exhibited internationally in institutions such as the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; House of World Cultures, Berlin; ZKM, Karlsruhe; 15th Biennale of Sydney; Barbican Gallery, London; and many others. Ujino Muneteru's solo exhibitions include Yamamoto Gendai, Tokyo (2011); Ujino and the Rotators, Hayward Project Space, London (2009); and Crossband, PSM, Berlin (2008).

Ressonància, longitud d'ona i electromagnetisme
Edward Leedskalnin had a flywheel with magnetic coils on the inside, he would attach the apparatus to a massive granite block which is mostly quartz. When the coil gets going it produces piezo-electric resonance inducing diamagnetism and levitation. However it only works in places on Earth that have a strong natural Earth Gravity field, such as Coral Castle.
The Hutchinson Effect is the new age Philidelphia Experiment. This is how Edward Leedskalnin lifted the 15 ton stones to built his coral castle. I explain the science behind how and why this effect happens. I also talk about Tesla's Earthquake machine and explain how to exploit the wave-particle duality of objects to move them more easily.
Any time you run current through a wire it produces a magnetic field...
If you run alternating current through wire it produces an alternating magnetic field.
A tesla coil is an arrangement of loops or coils of wire specifically designed to capacitate and permeate strong electromagnetic fields.
As long as you tune the frequency of the Alternating Current to the wavelengths of the atoms you can get them to resonate.
Ressonància sísmica
Watch the amazing "Gallopin' Gertie" November 7, 1940 film clip.
1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Slender, elegant and graceful, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge stretched like a steel ribbon across Puget Sound in 1940. The third longest suspension span in the world opened on July 1st. Only four months later, the great span's short life ended in disaster. "Galloping Gertie," collapsed in a windstorm on November 7,1940.
The bridge became famous as "the most dramatic failure in bridge engineering history." Now, it's also "one of the world's largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains of Galloping Gertie were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect her from salvagers.
A dramatic tale of failure and success
The story of the failure of the 1940 Narrows Bridge and the success of the Current Narrows Bridge is a great American saga. When Galloping Gertie splashed into Puget Sound, it created ripple effects across the nation and around the world. The event changed forever how engineers design suspension bridges. Gertie's failure led to the safer suspension spans we use today.
Sympathetic Resonance
This video is a demonstration of sympathetic vibration/resonance using the optical (flame) microphone. I designed this simple optical microphone back in 2004. It has many unique qualities and I have given the design to the World.
In this demo the device is placed in front of a normal loudspeaker. Music is played at moderate to high volume, the flame reacts to the complex sympathetic vibrations and resonances of the music. The sound you hear in this video is the actual vibrations of the flame. This is captured by the photoelectric panels on each side of the flame and this electrical signal is converted back to sound.
Thanks goes to the late Roy Orbison, who's unique vocal range gives the flame a real workout.
The Resonance Project
Resonance is a sound sculpture that fuses technology and ancient, organic vessels. Speakers are crafted from the resonant bodies of gourds and a software audio instrument - modeled on living systems - captures, processes and plays ambient soundscapes. Used as vessels since ancient times and throughout countless cultures today as musical instrument resonators, gourds are used in this installation as vessels to carry the sound of people.

Guzheng, Guqin
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guzheng
El guzheng es antecesor de varios instrumentos musicales, el koto japonés, el gayageum coreano, y el đàn tranh vietnamés.
El guzheng posee puentes, a diferencia del guqin, que es otro modelo antiguo de cítara china que no posee puentes.
