Thingamajigs is proud to present the second edition of Aeolian Day - a free community festival where artists, musicians, designers, engineers, children, families, educators and sound makers come together to celebrate the sound of the wind. This year, a breezy lawn in Jack London Square, Oakland will stage sound instruments played by the wind, on Sunday, May 31 between 11am and 4pm.
The event fosters creative collaboration of art, music and science through an exhibition of innovative sound sculptures. This year's exhibits will unveil an Aeolian Harp among other wind-played instruments. In the diverse mix of presenters for 2015, is a cosmologist, a computer vision researcher, an engineer, renowned composers, sculptors and many installation artists who re-purpose found objects to build instruments.
Similar to last year, 4 artists will collaborate with school children from Welcome to Bridges Academy (Oakland), La Escuelita Elementary (Oakland), Zion Lutheran Church & School (San Francisco), American International Montessori School (Berkeley) and North Oakland Community Charter School (Oakland); to create wind-based instruments.
During the event, visitors will experience the sound of the wind as the sea-breeze plays the instruments, amidst a colorful community gathering for the weekly Farmer's Market. There will be direction signs throughout the venue to guide attendees to the display lawn. There will also be many food stalls and other eateries to help guests enjoy the event thoroughly. Artists will be present to explain their models and Thingamajigs will also have its personnel to assist.
