Southport Flower Show Show Garden 2007: Artists ImpressionCymatic Sound Sculpture at Southport Flower Show

Proposed design for Southport Flower Show; In collaboration with Andy Kirman

The theme for the show was 'Music'. From the start, Andy's idea was for music to be the driving force behind the garden concept. This ended up being taken literally as the water feature within the open water area at the front of the garden is powered directly by music making the water dance! This technical piece of wizardry has been created by Paul Marshall.

Paul has been fascinated by the effect of sound on different substances for years; this collaborative project with Andy Kirman offers the opportunity to put into practise a long term design to make water dance using only sound. The phenomenon is called cymatics. The water 'dances' to a specially composed soundtrack. This soundtrack is designed to bring out a range of patterns and dynamics in the water.

Please see 'Design consultancy ' for further detail

Our Pentatonic Focus

  • Pentatonic or 'Dragon' scales are 5-note octaves particularly suitable for Early Years introduction to music & creative play.
  • Playing within this framework reinforces musical intervals, key for this age group, that are easy to pitch accurately and work in canon.
  • Bingbangbong makes 4 octaves of C Major Dragon Scales as standard.
  • The span is 2 octaves either side of Middle C and includes the natural range of a child’s singing voice.
  • Chimes have a clear sound and a good sustain. Larger chimes provide an opportunity to feel and see the tube vibrating.

Our Chimes

  • All Items are individually hand tuned in a temperature-regulated environment.
  • Any combination of Dragon instruments will be harmonic – No wrong notes.
  • Our colour scheme and client primer resources promote pentatonic games and activities using the equipment
  • We supply an anti-tamper fixing kit; a special tool is required for fitting & removal.
  • We build our instruments for permanent outdoor installation using selected materials and processing.  Our Instruments have an indefinite lifespan.
  • We only make musical instruments and sensory items, we are specialists not playground manufacturers.
