Sound sculpture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sound sculpture (also known as sound art and sound installation) is a multimedia artform in which sculpture produces sound or, less often, the reverse. Most often sound sculpture artists were primarily either visual artists or composers, not having started out directly making sound sculpture.
Sound sculptures take the form of indoor sound installations, outdoor installations such as aeolian harps, automatons, or be more or less near conventional musical instruments. Cymatics has influenced sound sculpture. Sound sculpture is often site-specific.
