​Clapotis​, June - September, 1995

In conjunction with Léman Animations Chimériques, a summer festival in Le Bouveret, Switzerland, a wave activated acoustic sculpture was installed on the edge of Lake Geneva for the 1995 summer season.  The 10 meter hull from Alain IV, a sail boat which represented Switzerland in the 1960 Olympics in Japan, was used as the sound chamber and canopy.  The lapping of the lake's water activated the acoustical properties of a series of flexible PVC hoses, filling the space under the hull with lake music.​
Location:  Lake Geneva, Le Bouveret, Switzerland
Materials:  repurposed boat hull, pvc, abs plastic, wood
Size:  30' X 10' X 10' W
Collaborator:  Sue Richards
Sponsor:  Association L.A.C., Montreux, Switzerland
