Singing Bridges.mpg

Singing Bridges is an urban sonic sculpture on a global scale, making music with the sound of bridges. A poetic, philosophical and creative work that helps transform our perception and experience of the world by tuning in to the intangible. Connecting people, places and cultures, bridges are always singing, all we need to do is stop and listen.

Placing contact microphones directly on the cables, I record and compose with the sound from inside the bridge, listening to the voice of the structure as wind, traffic and tension create vibrations. This works best in cable-stay and suspension bridges...

More than the acoustic properties or harmonics in the wires, the sound is also the voice of the bridge, released through the vibration that travels along the cables and reaches out across the globe. Imagine the voice of bridges all over the world singing together.
