Experience “Murmuration” at Blandy’s Ginkgo Grove This Weekend!

This weekend, the Ginkgo Grove at Blandy Experimental Farm will come alive with a unique, sound-based art installation called “Murmuration.” Created by Lee Weisert and Jonathon Kirk, this outdoor sound installation will be open to the public from 12:00-5:00 PM on Saturday, June 1st, and Sunday, June 2nd.

What is “Murmuration”? “Murmuration” uses robotic, wirelessly controlled mallets to strike woodblocks mounted on trees, creating an ever-changing percussive soundscape. These instruments are triggered by computer-generated algorithms that mimic natural processes, making for an immersive and organic auditory experience.
