Desert Resonator March 2011 - ongoing site-specific sonic sculpture permanently installed at the CLUI’s Desert Research Station, Hinkley, CA In collaboration with Steven Badgett There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres - Pythagoras of Samos Project Description A spherical, six-string Aeolian harp, constructed out of salvaged jet plane parts. Desert Resonator is situated beneath the R-2508 Range Complex, a joint-use military airspace corridor in the Mojave Desert. This spherical harp, like all Aeolian instruments, is designed to resonate via the wind. Its six 75’ long strings pass over dual bridges and produce multi-harmonic drones contingent upon the force and consistency of the air currents. In effect, it translates the wind. This project is a continuation of ongoing research into the history of sonic, militarized space. It represents one half of the larger “Ball and Horns” project, which will eventually include a second sonic sculpture of large, pivoting listening horns, likewise permanently situated at the Mojave DRS. |
