Architecture has never sounded quite so sweet, as in this ultra-modern audio art installation by Damian Francis Wagner – visual artist, composer, musician, architect. Offering an experience of the earth like no other, Wagner’s project – sound pavilion – is meant to be heard, not seen. What are described as “geo,” “hydro” and “scientific” microphones are embedded deep beneath the earth’s surface, picking up terrestrial sounds which are then played above ground via eight speakers in the pavilion itself. But this architect cum artist hasn’t let aesthetics fall by the wayside. The structure boasts a contemporary circular sound hub, enclosed in glass surrounding an interior observation deck, where the sounds of the earth reverberate. Damian Francis Wagner.
