It at Eden until the 9th October and occupies a site on a hill close to a planting called Wild Chile. The hill was close to the sight of a much reported, alleged UFO landing around 26 years ago, eery or what. Listen to the sound of Aeolus

[@onya13]

This sounds like the alien spaceship music from the movies

[@GOOBANANAS]

Sounds like background music to a 50's Scifi movie.

[@jlcarter119]

Sounds like a space ship!

[@Denmenta]

I wouldn't like to run into this at night...

[@Healody]

It sounds so alien

[@FLY1NGSQU1RR3L76]

Wow, beam me up, Scotty.

[@mrgoldirocks]

I think this is really cool. I'd love to have something like it on my land.

[@Ujuani68]

Imagine hearing this while having a migraine or a hangover! Man..

[@KSMSDRPEPPER]

OH if I had known this, I would have made a point to book a side trip to see this when we were in Ireland last fall.

[@jusdubzzz]

OH God that would drive me BONKERS

[@morgantaylor6849]

They seriously need to build this as the entrance to area 51

[@evelynmay2192]

Wild!

[@vincent7520]

I would hate having this in my neighborhood

[@howmuchbsisthis]

You get the feeling if you step through it that you will come out the other side in a different dimension creeeepy lol

[@waverly24]

Man, this would be creepy to hear at night as you're trying to go to sleep.

[@Stephanie-zk4hw]

Does anyone know what frequency these vibrate at?

[@laela1247]

the sounds must change with the wind.... where does the harp permanently reside?

[@cary81093]

sounds like a triller movie ! :)

[@kickhatz]

Sounds like game STALKER. Like this :)

[@Funtastic-Fahad]

This sounds louder than the singing ringing tree sulpture in England.

[@Elrumel]

sounds of steel that would make you crazy after a while... srlsy needs a pause function

[@MoumenBelhaj]

sounds like the aliens have arrived !

[@brucelee7150]

cool ;)

[@Wexutar]

Sounds like a force field :D

[@jerrym2321]

Very cool, but I'm sure glad I don't live near that thing. I've seen acoustic wing chimes that make nicer sounds by orienting the pipes at different angles.

[@larrylem3582]

The ends on both sides are open. Don't you have to close one side to make "noise"?

[@scionofgrace]

+Larry Lem Nope. Think of a brass or woodwind instrument: it's open at both ends. Capping one end would make the tone go down by 1 octave, but would also limit playing, since it wouldn't sound if the wind was blowing on the capped end.

[@animationspace8550]

Remember the monolith from 2001: A space oddessy? *Well this is him now.* Feel old yet?

[@raykent3211]

On the plus side, it may provide full-time employment for a piano tuner with step ladders. On the minus side, the notes say it's a stringed instrument, but that's it. So they don't want us to understand, rather to be awestruck, stupefied... my guess is that it's a big aeolien harp. I'm interested in sound sculptures, and this ain't bad, but I had the idea that the eden project had a mission to inform rather than artificially mystify.

[@goran840]

I know this is an ancient comment, but the uploader is not the artist. If you search for Luke Jerram and Aeolus you can find his webpage that has much more information. But yes, it's a big aeolien harp.

[@iev911]

I got listen such sounds already when I saw Antichrist.

[@psychebittersweet]

it's a portal! and the sound is the calling of bee-aliens

[@wigwagstudios2474]

this is my sleep paralysis demon

[@aniledoddi]

Kinda trippy

[@PagesofWisdom313]

Reminds me of that one episode in Spongebob

[@elismycat]

I bet that's a headache for the wildlife in the area....

[@yikes7607]

This is the sound of anxiety lol

[@KSMSDRPEPPER]

Would be interesting to have one here in Kansas where we have a lot of wind.

[@shiningarmor2838]

Try hitting the tubes with paddles

[@Banette808]

All allied nations should have this sculpture as a sign of Harmony i say.

[@Carl_Wheezy]

i wonder wut it would sound like to be hit by lightning :s

[@cactus00001]

The sound of (choose one) - a) marimba b) large gong c) flying metal d) loud screams

[@Mikedeela]

I really like it but I wonder what the animals think.

[@aridemedina8770]

The sounds are amazing. But I have a question. Do they affect animal life anyway? I mean do they disturb life of animals, birds or insects as well? Fro Brazil 🇧🇷

[@rchaser4]

Brazil’s deforestation disturbs animals, but you’re wondering about this piece of art. Genius.

[@aridemedina8770]

Mr Chaser: As you can see, I just expressed my opinion. I didn't ask yours.

[@federicoperna4972]

[@deidrapatterson6513]

How is a wind instrument a stringed instrument?

[@fluxy8972]

we can't hear anything whit all the wind in your microphone.

[@user-im7eq5gl8i]

cant you hear the bird is complaining these weird noise?

[@keithmartin2733]

wires run from each tube to posts.

[@elorele]

Это вообще где?

[@twatrick]

the strings r inside the tubes

[@UncleFexxer]

These should be set up in cemeteries... wouldn't have to worry about vandals at night

[@MetaCitizen]

Really awesome but I wonder how this affected surrounding real estate prices. ಠ_ಠ

[@MetaCitizen]

***** C.R.E.A.M.

[@20PINKluvr]

very jarring

[@larryfenn3164]

I'm not sure the neighbors appreciate the noise 24/7. Many would say this is a type of 'pollution' they want no part of.

[@timothyturpin5869]

+Larry Fenn You could label almost any sound noise pollution if it was unwanted. The sole characteristic separating noise from other acoustic phenomena is its unwantedness. It's a question of attitude towards the given sound rather than something intrinsic to the sound itself.

[@chrisk3379]

+The Homeless Guy With that statement you must define normal then, since you just referenced normal from a position of bias and subjectivity, which is based only from your perspective of what normal encompasses.

[@Scribamanos]

Are the strings attached to the white posts that surround the sculpture?

[@Quienfueracolaless]

ovni

[@rylangonsalves7274]

Perfect for trauma I'd say!

[@TINKNOCK3R88]

Thats exactly what it sounds like in the Veer Towers in Las Vegas on a windy day. Big design flaw.... People paid millions for high class apartments, to have their brains buzzed out when it's windy..HA HA

[@brunodiaz4726]

NO, imagine you don´t know shit about the proyect and go near to that... ... while taking mushrooms... ... ... or peyote... ... ... ... maaaaaaaaannnnn

should out some bench for lying down.... erm but some pitch is kinda high and annoying.. maybe not suitable.

Then don't do it!

[@user-im7eq5gl8i]

if it make by wood , should sound better.... this is metal is too inflexible, the sound produce is hard.

[@Detson404]

I do not like it. It's very unsettling.

[@sethm8432]

I don't like it...

so many harmonics, that's super awesome. i just wish the mic had a wind muff =((
