Noisy art.



I think this artist has always been fascinated with the sound of falling rain. His complicated installations must take an army of workers to set up.
All that work, and I'm sure it's only interesting to view for a minute or so. 

I like the woodworms munching at 9:46.

One of my favorite sounds is rain falling on a completely calm lake when you're out in a canoe. None of his installations get quite that sound, though the ones at 3:42 and 8:38 and 12:58 come close. 

It looks like this:
Rain falling on a lake has a wonderful musical silvery sound, and it sounds kind of like this, although there's too much other noise here from rain hitting the camera body, and the water is too shallow. 

You can't quite hear the musical quality of the sound on this video, mostly because of all the talking.

The sound of raindrops hitting water is caused by bubbles of air oscillating underwater.[35][36]
