The WIND HARP "Spingsongs" (1972).
Rare and great recording of gorgeous droning microtonal soundscapes produced by a giant wind-activated sound sculpture (an aeolian harp). The sculpture itself was designed and built by Ward McCain on a hilltop in Chelsea Vermont in the early 70s.
Wind harp recorded on a beach in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
