Title: "Uprising"

 When I initially entered one of the silos, I was struck by the compelling ambience of the space. Because of its cylindrical structure, reverberant sound echoes bounced smoothly off of its curved walls and seemed to rise upward. I became inspired to explore this rich sonic atmosphere in a creative way. What came to mind was to retune a piano harp's strings to the resonant frequencies of the silo's architecture. Then, by sustaining those strings with rapidly spinning motors, allow the harp to erupt into rich harmonic outbursts that could resonate with the ambience of the silo. For variety, and a sense of poetic and cultural juxtaposition, I envisioned a robot arm slowly sweeping over the strings and progressively activating the evolving string overtones.
