Eleanor Schonnell Bridge, Brisbane Australia
Composition made with sounds recorded during construction and installation, 2005

The sound you are hearing is the first permanent sound installation on a bridge worldwide, amplifying the sound of the vibrations in the structure. The cables can be heard through speakers in a live feed on the interactive pedestals closest to the pylons. 

A sound installation that has minimal impact on the functioning of the bridge, and provides a sense of immediate engagement and interaction with the structure for people using it. The interactive screen allows engagement with the community along the river, bridges around the world, the construction process, and the sound of the Green Bridge.

How it works: [Diagram signal path] 
Accelerometers pick up the movement of the cables through vibrations. This movement generates a charge which is passed on to a signal conditioner. The signal output as audio goes into the soundcard on a PC and is streamed across the local area network to the interactive pedestal.  

What you're hearing: The vibration caused by wind, traffic and strain on the structure through the cables. Or the voice of the bridge, a singing spirit depending on your perspective and beliefs.

First permanent sound installation of it's kind in the world

Final remix Merry Christmas Everyone

Wet-Jacket-Man goes to Egypt to repeat the Tutmos trip but gets confused about the details of the story and falls asleep not near the Great Sphinx, but near one of the pyramids. His REM-phase dreams are recorded by the technology of the ancients in order of appearance.
