Les Tuyaux Sonores
1994, Alma, QC, Canada
1996, Grimsby, ON, Canada
Les Tuyaux Sonores is a sound installation for lengths of tuned resonators three meters and over, which resonate with environmental sound sources; installed at five locations in Ontario and Quebec, four sites over moving water, one over a highway. The tuned resonators were installed at sites such as waterfalls and highway overpasses bringing the sounds closer to the ear and adding deep humming sounds with shimmering layers of overtones. The visitor is fully active in sound and motion, time and space. Water sounds are tuned by resonator lengths. Resonators over a highway pick up vehicle sounds, including Doppler effects. The images below show the installation in Niagara region, sponsored by the Grimsby Art Gallery.
