Sound sculpture
Sound sculpture (related to sound art and sound installation) is an intermedia and time based art form in which sculpture or any kind of art object produces sound, or the reverse (in the sense that sound is manipulated in such a way as to create a sculptural as opposed to temporal form or mass). Most often sound sculpture artists were primarily either visual artists or composers, not having started out directly making sound sculpture.
Cymatics and kinetic art have influenced sound sculpture. Sound sculpture is sometimes site-specific.
Sound Artist and Professor of Art at Claremont University, Michael Brewster, described his own works as "Acoustic Sculptures" as early as 1970.[1] Grayson described sound sculpture in 1975 as "the integration of visual form and beauty with magical, musical sounds through participatory experience."[2]
