Aeolian wind harp sounding recorded with a contact microphone, in Elqui Valley of Chile (exactly in the "Reservoir Puclaro”, 70km from La Serena).

This wind sculpture is facing the wind and 4 cords are vibrating. You can find more info about the sculpture on http://www.sonidocreativo.cl/?p=624

The project is called "Imagenes Eolicas del Elqui" and has been done by Mario Arenas Avarrete in La Serena, January 2006.

The contact microphone is stuck behind the second piece of metal.
