"A fascinating counterpoint of sound and light...of constantly shifting patterns."—The Independent

Siren, a sound installation by British composer and artist Ray Lee, is a whirling, spinning spectacle of sight and sound. You'll wander transfixed among a field of tall metal tripods rigged with rotating arms, each equipped with a pair of tone generators and two LED lights. These individually tuned sirens emit pulsing drones while the illuminated tips trace fiery patterns in rapidly circling trajectories. Siren produces alarming sounds for alarming times: hypnotically intense but also strangely soothing, like a celestial choir of harmonic overtones. Immersed in this electrifying environment, you'll surrender to the alluring spell of a unique sonic and visual delight.
