This podcast features Luke Jerram, artist and research fellow at the University of Southampton. We spoke with Jerram over Skype about his latest project, Aeolus, a unique sound sculpture.

Aeolus is an acoustic and optical pavilion designed for the public to contemplate the UK landscape; to make audible the silent shifting patterns of the wind and to visually amplify the ever changing sky. Aeolus is designed to resonate and sing with the wind without any electrical power or amplification. Aeolus will sonify the three dimensional landscape of wind, using a web of Aeolian harps. Almost like cats' whiskers sensitive to the slightest touch, the strings register the shifting landscape of wind around the artwork. Aeolus has been made possible with major grants from the EPRSC, (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) the Arts Council of England and Outokumpu have provided stainless steel.
