The Singing Ringing Tree - Lancashire

The most musical tree in the world, the Singing Ringing Tree is an artwork constructed of galvanized steel pipes that spiral upward like a DNA strand. While some of the pipes are simply ornamental, others have holes strategically drilled into the bottom side to produce distinct melodic tones when wind passes through them. The process is similar to pushing air through the pipes of an organ.
The melodies pouring forth from the tree are slightly discordant, creating an awe-inspiring hum that spans several octaves. The design won the National Award for architectural excellence from the Royal Institute of British Architects. A second Ringing Singing Tree has been constructed in Manor, Texas. |
