  • Natural Forms Archive

    During the first semester I made audio-visual recordings of how natural forms react in my environment, and noted how elements move within the natural surroundings, creating their own natural graphic score An eight minute audio/visual compilation catalogues the recorded events to use as future reference. I created a series of instruments that could be played by the wind I built an aeolian harp which is played using the von Karman vortex street effect. The delicate procedure of building the harp gave me a greater understanding of the intricacies of design within nature. It’s limited success producing sound meant it was superseded by other more successful and safer sculptures in Audio Playground.
