Headphones on again folks...

The wind reed, a sculpture that draws on several traditional sources, resonates in the wind, producing sounds that are reminiscent of the haunting airs of Irish traditional music.

This sculpture stands on Derrigimlagh Bog - close to the spot where Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio signal. A difficult sound to record, given that it relies on wind to make sound, and very gentle sounds at that. I decided as soon as I heard it that I want to build one in our garden and livestream the sounds it makes, 24 hours a day...
