Sound Balances

  - five kinetic sound sculptures, 1995

Each of the sound balances has its own characteristic sound, its specific form of movement and its own rhythm.

As a result of this one hears a calm gamelan-like metal sound. In the open landscape this sound mixes with those of the environment. The best location for the balances is next to a brook or canal into which the spouts pour the water. 'This is where they write their irregular nodding and knocking in the wind'.
