Chicago, Illinois, United States

Recording of Harry Bertoia's Sounding Sculpture, Chicago, USA.

Note: this amazing work is meant to be moved by the wind. However on this day in particular, we found the pool that surrounds the Sounding Sculpture to be empty of water and thus were able to approach to give it a forceful playing.

Really good quality recording. I came across this piece and shot a short video I's like to share for those that would like to see it. https://youtu.be/KuaNHNd4lc8

quality recording - glad you could jump in up close!- using this in a city-scape sound-design element (with other layers) at opening of a piece about "difference makers" in Chicago as part of a non-profit documentary project featuring youth filmmakers. THANK YOU : )
