An Eerie Structure: The Singing Ringing Tree

Anyone from or been to Burnley in England? That's where this interesting sculpture is home to. An eerie looking sculpture that makes very eerie sounding sounds. The structure is made from tuned steel pipes of varying lengths. As wind travels through the pipes the Singing Ringing Tree emits haunting sounds. Sounds vary depending on the direction and intensity of the wind.

Visually, the whole thing looks very sci-fi-ish to me and I like it. Though I would not want to live close to something like this where I can hear the sounds in my backyard - way too creepy (listen to the video).

The art work was created in 2006 by Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu.

Wow cool I'm living nearish to burnley at the moment... never heard of this sculpture but will be venturing there soon... will report back
Cheers for the insightful information.

oh cool - you should head there on a windy day. Post up any photos if you take them!
