The Singing, Ringing Tree

[terredee]

(`)> What do the birds think?

[Bella080715]

creepy lol

[z5y3]

00000

[EL21FLiNk]

это где находиться?

[lokilokiyeah]

I bet this attracts loads of jelly fish.

[MrSean490]

Sounds like racing cars.

[libbytuesday]

It sounds like a ghostly F1 race ^ ^

[MsKatcon]

I like it !

[Dookeymuffin]

Either sounds like bees or dying souls

[MusicDirector25]

SICK!!! :D

[fpg66]

must be hell living close to this thing!

[IMASHINDEKUDASAI]

Your microphone sucks, cover it with something, anything!

[RailMon]

@IMASHINDEKUDASAI That brain cell of yours must be awfully lonely up there! LoL.

[bowmanpwner]

@RailMon No one laughed

[IMASHINDEKUDASAI]

@RailMon WHY THE FUCK WOULD I CARE ABOUT ONE OF MY BRAIN CELLS!? UP IS ABOVE ME, SO I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD BE THERE, ALONE, UNLESS IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT MY BRAIN CELL BUT JUST PART OF IT.

[labotamysausagedog]

@RailMon I agree that IMASHINDEKUDASAI didn't choose the most polite way to say what he said but, he's right, this was't recorded very well. I dont know what kind of mic you used but, if you had simply used a pop screen/wind filter you would have been able to block the distorted wind noise so people could hear this fascinating musical sculpture better (if you simply used a camera or phone's built in mic, that would guarantee the sound quality comes out poor as well).

[oliverblaser]

Can it also play lambada?

[jerseymike70]

Erie

[Glory1463]

Это завораживает!

[dcsiple]

it's an aeolian harp

[GlowWorm1962]

watch?v=7XqMF5ou7hE

[sgentlemanjack112]

isn't that a tornado? not a tree?

[Thesquarewave]

@sgentlemanjack112 Shure looks like one and SOUNDS like one. Well sort of...

[quadjeffrey]

thats a creepy sound

[yulperez]

wonderful and poetic...

[crosspatch]

I thought I saw something similar at Burning Man.

[Janeliker]

not as pretty as the original but could be said to be as eerie as the place it grew (well, if you were around 8 at the time you watched it) - and of course none of this will mean anything to those of you who sadly are not over 45...!! also think this should really be called something like the Moaning Groaning Tree, as sounds more like that and the 'sculptor' should not have stolen a name of something so synonymous with REAL magic.

[lt3tretrois]

Couldn't they have shielded the mic to just get the sound of the sculpture?

[6000Robert]

should whistle Marseillaise

[Twinkikklebunny]

Cries... from hell?

[BStewart2nd]

Bit eerie yet incredibly beautiful... Not the pretties thing to look at however the sounds it emits are almost out-worldly and peaceful.

[storminmorman50]

Didn't Ted Mosby design this?

[Evilhen88]

Now if you put this in a graveyard....

[jokerrabit]

sounds like the soundtrack from an old sci fi movie

[kpvongn]

Like Spongebob Oo xD

[Alusnovalotus]

it looks more like a metal tornado....

[TheChiiMotosuwa]

Sounds kinda creepy, like a horror film..

[StepSoftlyGhost]

I can't decide if this is relaxing or creepy! Either way, it's damn impressive!

[mindsaglowin]

it looks like a cumulonimbus cloud.

[mmfmmf332]

Very nice. Very relaxing.

[madgameman1]

Silent Hill O.O

[kyoshintama]

at night, this could be pretty creepy :s

[cjracer1000]

Take this to Oklahoma during the spring time.

[7292011]

Aliens.

[Dudeman9339]

it sounds like gods talking on the wind...

[FA1LWHAL3]

For some reason the sound it makes creeps me out. I don't know why.

[fernandes606]

I loock (montagny les lanches)

[luismusic101]

they got this from spongebob or spongebob got this from them

[MASEK360]

Image you're lost and you don't see anything in the dark and hear that sound. I'd be terrified as fuck lol

[TheWeirdPlant]

Damn, that's creepy.

[Cristuuu]

sounds so misterious

[SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

Yep. Exactly the same as a nightmare I had once. I love it!

[TheHOTchocolate911]

sounds scary ;m;

[comfortouch]

I want one!

[davidsquall351]

AWESOME!!

[pipus4444]

eerie

[vocoloidfreak11]

I see more cool shit on youtube then i do in real life

[KaurkaKaymiril]

Eerie.

[DrunkenNuts]

does it just know that one song?

[giantsammich]

@DrunkenNuts

It'll create a new tune depending on the direction & speed o' the wind. It's really a neat sculpture.

[orcanospring]

looks like the tree of life build by a transformer ,.... i love it

[DashTheWonderbolt]

That is one creepy ass tree.... I want three in my front yard...

[Santillana]

Increible! Formula 1 tree!

[Loafy23]

Haunting and beautiful...

[catalinux007leiro]

this combine art ans science just amazing

[Nayr5555]

That's awesome! No matter where the wind blows, there will be a tone coming out of the tree.

[themixedarts]

Where. is. It??

[RailMon]

@themixedarts Try reading the description below the clip!

[gatedrain]

@themixedarts it is located in lancashire, england.

[DreadnoughtMetal2006]

@themixedarts Burnley is in the UK mate. Lancashire.

[MrSeabass187]

@themixedarts all that shit that they say in the description isn't jibberish, it's actually the name of the town it's near. Poorly explained and without reading (and knowing) international URL's you wouldn't know it was in the UK.

So long story short, it's in the UK.

[Slimer2x3]

It sounds eerie and ominous, yet enchanting and majestic at the same time...

[kiminbari]

Creepy wonderful!  thanks for posting!

[solitajre222]

In the future when civilisation is destroyed and we go back to living in huts and caves, we'll come to worship things like these.

[MegaMmena]

@fatima  lopez15 this is so coooooooool

[robjacksontop]

@solitajre222 I hope so. That would make much more sense.

[SvenOkonomi]

Its a clever idea, but a poor construction. Id prefer it if it had some nice choruses rather then a monotonous hum of all tones.

[Muslim2888]

this is satans horn

[sharpezor]

i would like to order a mini one of these

[skarlos67]

its a EVP

[Austinflank]

Im fucking scared

[beaujscott]

Neat! Has a ghostly tune to it...

[dynamowhum]

Love this stuff

[jeanlucncoelho]

OMG thats the typical alien artifact from horor videogames

[brunswickbass888]

This'll keep the damn kids outta my yard! ;D

[StormriftonROBLOX]

Sounds like the sound of a forgotten abandoned town.

[ryang256]

Thumbs up if Eric Whitacre's facebook link brought you here!

[sbjennings99]

Sounds creepy

[narihamek1]

I think i might just die of getting creep the fuck out if i would've just stood there next to it O_o

[Hypastpist]

ominous...

[17sundays]

awesome!



[polkadotpanda33]

this is crazy amazing! i feel like it's be really spooky to see in person. :)

[JonathanSharman]

Haunting.

[BrendaRockyNeck]

This is awesome! What a concept, love the randomness, the funkiness, the authenticity of it. Thanks for creating this, whoever you are. PEACE!

[kakabukkake0]

this is stupid........BLARGBLARGA THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS BLARG BLA BLAB BLAL BLABLA

(its actually cool)

[morganpag]

It looks cool, but the sound gives me the willies!

[34comecome]

I would like to create or buy more of these and put them along the beach, but like 200 of them, and walk and night along the beach. what would it feel like? hell? or

[videotimesss1]

I Love it!

[Gabberwocky13]

this is awesome. haters to the left.

[spenjax1111]

this place looks like "standoff" on HALO 3

[TownshipLax08]

what does the guy in the beginning have anything to do with anything?

[Notyouraveragename]

Wind flowing through tubes making odd sounds as strange as a wind chime.

[MrPaniiic]

this is creepy

[kailanpancake]

this was definitely NOT like those sculptures for the jellyfish in spongebob...

[Volgan16666]

I like it. Reminds me of the plannet sound in the original star trek.

[RubyTeeg]

Someone please explain to me how this is "hippie crap"?

[RailMon]

@RubyTeeg : Good question Ruby, But I wowuldn't bother youy head about it. Its just some right wing prat seeking attention.!

[oODarkEnergyOo]

@RailMon ... let me translate Right Wing for you ...

Right Wing - to use the words Hippie, Liberal and Left for anything they're afraid of and/or do not understand.

[labotamysausagedog]

@RubyTeeg There are certain rejects who think that any musical or artistic creation

that in some way incorporates natures deserves to be labeled "hippy crap". It's not worth trying to trying to deduce the logic in their argument, they're just jealous and angry, since they have no artistic abilities and they have nothing of any value to contribute to the world (not that they would ever bother to find out).

[nibiru48]

It's a love ballad by John Cage!!!

[MadPrimateCinema]

this is terrifying

[Jan4Solar]

Maybe because it's a spiral shape, it makes the sound of Phi or of Earth or the musical spheres (could be all the same, who knows), but I swear I almost hear an identical sound when my copper faced pyramid is up.

[wkeil1981]

hippie crap

[theoriginalbensteele]

What we really need instead of an artist sticking the pipes together and calling it a tree, is a musician who can arrange the pipes and tune them to some beautiful harmonies

[crazybay46913]

@theoriginalbensteele I think it sounds beautiful.

[MiquelFox]

@theoriginalbensteele Thats obviously impossible. It's practically impossible. I find this beautiful

[iceisforming86]

@theoriginalbensteele There are musicians like that, though I would agree there could be more for the better - see, the musician in this case is nature, wind, and human. Hey, don't be afraid to open up your mind just a sliver.

[9snaker]

@theoriginalbensteele

no

[BongaFish]

@theoriginalbensteele Hey now, give the artist some credit. This was a pretty damn cool idea he had as far as ugly modern art made of cast iron goes.

Besides, unless he's made of magic, I don't think any musician can make that bundle of pipes play beautiful harmonies since it relies on the wind. I dunno if it's possible to slap together some metal cylinders, put it in a field, and expect a melodic tune to happen no matter which way you sodder those pipes on.

[Mohaukseven]

@theoriginalbensteele Fortunately, we have both. So cheer up!

[DoctorZuggy]

Makes me think of Silent Hill.

[PlaidMutineer]

Trent Reznor's new all-vuvuzela album, coming January 2012

[itsmemanduh]

looks and sounds like a tornado to me

[thegezabel]

It certainly is interesting, but I pity anyone who actually may be able to hear those mournful sounds coming from the "singing tree".

[MrNoAim01]

ITS FROM OUTA SPACE!

[ih4t3su]

This is that sound you hear at night when you think something is in your room.

This is that sound that scares you to your core.

But it's okay because it is just the singing ringing tree.

[bbigffish]

Cool ,it sounds like it's in morning ,Love this Artist

[PhonoboyAD1984]

A little creepy yes

[dreddisan]

wouldn't be the guy who has to clean all those pipes every day ...

[Escotch82]

I want one for my backyard. It'd drive the neighbours' dogs nuts

[Turbobuttes]

Those sounds are some goddamn nightmare fuel right there.

[verygreenjellybean]

sounds so evil

[FaIIenBh0y]

@verygreenjellybean You don't know evil...

[z0mgrugbyreturns]

@RailMon That makes sense - I'm a "sicko" because I take issue with my local council and their backwards priorities.

I might be a cynical arse at times but if you knew anything about Burnley you'd know every statement above is factual. Burnley does suffer extreme economic and social deprivation; The majority in Burnley do not care for money being spent on this stuff; The council therefore don't give a damn about its constituents or Democracy on the whole.

I don't recall insulting you.

[arqmikes]

Stanley Kubrick movie

[axt947]

The third tube from the left is slightly out of tune.

[zephyrquartz]

What's the tale behind the witches?  Actually I dislike this because it is producing discordant noises. Lord knows what it's doing to the countryside.

[fleshofdanny]

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!

[sslfsociety]

Reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

[DanandDonna1]

How neat! Wished I'd thought of it. lol

[Fiddlewheel]

...What is this?

its as if I can hear lyrics...

"take...a...melody..."

hunh, wonder what thats all about?

[mtm81989]

Wasn't this on an episode of sponge bob?? like i remember it was a sculpture of him and it was causing the same effect as this is...

[remosura01]

@mtm81989 haha yeah dude your RIGHT!!

[bittercokejjang]

wow..mindblowing

[DOX9500]

well now that the wind can sing..... we just have to find a way to paint with it :3

[Chipp150]

reminds me of that spongebob episode.

[jorgeluis546]

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind (8)

[18potterfan]

what makes the sculpture creepier is the fact its so removed from society

[Nerdovich]

@18potterfan There must be a joke about people who watch 'reality TV' in what you've just said. I just can't put the words in the right order.....lol

[Killa384]

Spongebob xD

[urbanfriend666]

this is like the monolith from 2001: a space odyssey, but just in a different form.

i wonder if when you touch it you get the urge to start smashing bones

[SpadesNeil]

A certain Spongebob episode comes to mind.

[theaterhobo]

Pochahontas would've loved this!

[grandexandi]

@RailMon yeah, especially because the tree is sexy as hell

[imtheuniverse]

it sounds like nascar

[S1W2E3D]

an amazing creating though it doesent sound too beautiful to me

[catalinaumbert]

[koolkat104]

That is terrifying and awesome.

[heavypopbeat13]

[mushnoodle]

[dawnatilla]

I THINK THIS CAN CALL UPON THE HEAVENS..I THINK SPACE SOUND SLIKE THIS

[dawnatilla]

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WILL DISLIKE SOMETHING.. SO SIMPLE AS A BEAUTIFUL OBJECT..IF U DONT LIKE IT MOVE ON!!! NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR RAT FUCK OPINION!!!!!

[RyuSinX]

kinda creepy... damn

[hyper7mac28]

looks like bike rims inbetween each layer of pipes

[IDKJustRandomStuff]

I bet birds will try to make homes in this.....

[cherry35416]

What if you put this in your neighbors yard and just left it in the middle of the night? On a super windy night, in fact?

[Butterfly18981]

This sounds like what they would play in the background of a horror movie right before the scary thing pops out.

[poulsontheprick]

Bleedin' left wing drug addicts.

[RailMon]

@poulsontheprick Living up to your name I see.

[samisyosam]

@poulsontheprick I agree. People shouldn't make interesting things. Ever.

[chadunn13]

@poulsontheprick fuckin liberals lol

[CoolJegerJ]

It looks like alien spaceship lol

[AeronPeryton]

Feel like playing Myst again for some reason...

[OrhanOzan]

i want to build a house next to this tree.

[pundet1]

ahaha I have to find the same in miniature and put it on the neighbours garden! He will scare his sh*t out! x)

[Shatterproof315]

sounds like something from the ocarina of time soundtrack

[oranje4444]

/watch?v=wuvytsOQXmw

Sweet, funny girl!

[Fusurugi]

nice but how about a windshield next time?

[LostMind1989]

it sounds eerie and creepy. but at least we do know that it would make noise if if falls and no one is around to hear it
