Joe Snell
Songlines
A 10 metre high cylinder that emanates musical sounds generated by the prevailing winds, Songlines is located in the forecourt of Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
The brainchild of Sydney architect Joe Snell, the installation contains three large Aeolian Harps.
Songlines will glow from within for the Light Walk, with a pulse of colour change provided by banks of low-energy LEDs.
What’s Smart?
Songlines captures the power of nature to create music and uses only low energy LED bulbs to create a beautiful lighting effect.
