In a world that is bombarded with noise.. the soothing and peaceful sound of this harp offers respite from the sound storm and will enhance the uniqueness of Victoria. I know I would travel there to hear it and tell lots of people about it. The world needs more soothing sounds.
Good to see that in this day and age there is someone who focuses on quality, art and beauty and not just the quick buck. These wind harps are a thing of beauty and inspire wonder and contemplation in the listener. Thanks Greg Joly, I wish that these harmonic wind harps become more common place in public gardens and spaces. Man cannot live on bread and water alone. Anthony (Australia)
We have a wind harp installed at the harbor in Chula Vista, which is the next city south of San Diego. It's a work of exquisite public art and the music created by the sea breezes is breath-takingly beautiful. It's the highlight of everyone's stroll along the boardwalk. I believe that every city should have one!!
This is very exciting..and I hope the vision of a permanent wind harp by the sea comes to fruition. This would be such a wonderful draw for both tourists and locals....Perfect!
Thank you for sharing these divine instruments with the world Greg. Sending positive vibes your way for the installation in Victoria. One day I hope to have one on my property that I can sit in and share with clients. Sound is such an incredible force for healing...
Cool Greg. You harps are beautiful and the thought of being able to find one to listen to, out in public, whenever I wanted to, (or even once in a while -- after all, I don't know in what context it would be installed) makes me happy. Good luck, -Jay
Both the sounds and the fact that wind harps are activated by non-human forces has an enduring appeal. My affinity for these sounds comes from their similarity to those I make on my self-built instrument, the Springboard, an instrument made from coil springs played with a cello bow.
Vancouver has a steam clock as an archetypal icon; why shouldn't Victoria have this as it's own type of "symbol"? Certainly, it would fit in with the more genteel, less bustling England-like feel of the city, and would be an additional attraction to tourists, I would say.

Sculpture that sings! What better way to honour the wind.

This is amazing! How wonderful it would be to have one of these in Victoria.
Well played!
This would be spectacular to have in Victoria!
we did have one in Victoria-ask the craftsman!
I have an ocean front home on the Maine bold coast. I so want one of these. Who do I contact?

Drone!
I wonder if there's some sort of life feed for an aeolis harp... gonna check that.
...no, apparently not.
What an irritating sound! It's not even pleasant sounding
