I read about this in one of the Architecture Now! series, then realised it was here on my doorstep. The Singing Ringing Tree, by Tonkin Liu is part of a beacons project around Burnley and Pendle in East Lancashire. Made of varying lengths of steel tubing with tiny grooves, it 'sings' different chords. In practicality it hums a very faint, low sound once in a while. All the same, a nice idea and a welcome addition to East Lancashire by a world known architect.
