Singing Ringing Tree, Wind-activated musical sculpture in Lancashire, England.
Steel pipes arranged in a tree formation create musical sounds when wind passes through the structure at Crown Point hill.
Architects Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu constructed this musical sculpture in 2004 as part of the Panopticons arts project in East Lancashire.
The Royal Institute of British Architects recognized this musical installation with a National Award for Architectural Excellence in 2007.
Located at coordinates 53°45′42″N 2°14′29″W, the sculpture stands 3 meters tall and provides views across Burnley and the surrounding landscape.
Each galvanized steel pipe in the structure features different internal diameters and specific angles, creating varied musical notes as wind directions change.
