Water Drops Make Music
The Aqueous installation is a meditative space that encourages perception of small things. In a dark room, visitors can see lights near the floor and on the ceiling and hear soft water sounds from every part of the space. As the sound gains and loses musicality, they can also catch glimpses of tonal, rhythmic and spatial patterns.
Water droplets fall through the space into 25 water filled tubes that are approximately tuned in an equal temperament scale spanning two octaves. Each tube is lit from the bottom by an LED creating a glow in the ceiling that shimmers and flickers when the water surface is distorted. The release of droplets is hidden above the ceiling allowing it to act as a canvas.
