Singing Ringing Tree has settled almost on the windy hill Pennines Lancashire County. Something this sculpture resembles a tree, which eventually bent in the wind. However, this is not just a sculpture, a semblance of authority, voiced by colliding air masses invisible.
The wind passes through the tube-branch of the mythical "tree", at the end of which (not all) are special openings. The resulting music is a bit frightening, but, nevertheless, is a bit like a mixture of sounds of a flute, whistle and hum.





Due to the fact that the wind direction changes all the time and passes through the different layers of tubes - sculpture never "sing" the same melody.
However, those who have already visited the hills of Lancashire (northwest England), it is advised to come look at the Singing Ringing Tree in normal (not too windy) day when the steel "organ" sounds soft and iridescent, not at all disturbing the idyll of nature and even as if merging with it.
Unusual musical sculpture - the creation of Mike Tonkin (Mike Tonkin) and Anna Liu (Anna Liu) from the duo tonkin liu - located on one of the picturesque hills (Crown Point) near the town of Burnley.



It sets out to inspire locals nature walks, and at the same time and bring in a small town tourists who would like to see for unusual art objects.



Singing Ringing Tree was presented to the public in December 2006, and its name she received from the eponymous German film "Singing ringing tree» («Das singende, klingende Bäumchen»), which was broadcast on the BBC in the 1960s.



The authors emphasize that after installing sculptures are using engineers from the consulting company Jane Wernick Associates specially tuned its sound so that it is in harmony with the sounds of nature.
