Sound sculpture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sound sculpture (related to sound art and sound installation) is a multimedia artform in which sculpture produces sound or the reverse. Most often sound sculpture artists were primarily either visual artists or composers, not having started out directly making sound sculpture.
Cymatics has influenced sound sculpture. Sound sculpture is sometimes site-specific.
