Pyrophones

Mark Anderson's Pyrophones was the show stopper of Power Plant 08 in Liverpool's Calderstones Park.An elaborate arrangement of metal pipes, topped with propane burners sporadically shooting balls of flame into a South Liverpool sky from the centre of an Old English Garden. Hidden away to one side under the protection of a fabric pergola, the artist controlled the installation through a computer to which was connected a keyboard. A weird and lasting combination of lugubrious horns, bright light and occasional blasts of intense heat. A bit like Liverpool but what a way to spend part of a Saturday night!
