john roach on 12 Oct 20"The Sonic Bikes "The Marja Trio" are an artwork by Kaffe Matthews made with Hai Art for Hailuoto in May 2013. http://www.kaffematthews.net/ The bikes are a musical instruments playing 'The Marja trio', a specially made music for the Marjaniemi harbor and boardwalk path to Sumppu. The piece was made by Matthews during a 10 day Artist-in-Residence period in which she made recordings of the area including the three Marja turbines and lighthouse mast, and along with various digital synthesis techniques processed them into musical fragments. Inspired by the changing harmonies of the area, she linked and layered these fragments to different spots and zones, so that a visitor, when cycling one of the sonic bikes around, will trigger and so hear them play. The cyclist recreates the composition."
