Cymatic Sound Sculpture at Southport Flower Show 2007

The theme for this year's show is '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.
