Siren Bells Lament sound installation was created for the Tannery space, at MOMA Machynlleth in 2019, part of Culture Colony Intervention.
Four bomb like bells hang from charred wooden jibs with the silhouette of a jet aeroplane at the top. The bells are hit with mechanical hammers, in a sequence that gradually changes as the mechanisms and small 12v motors react to small changes in stress and friction. In the centre a WW11/Cold War air raid siren interrupts the melancholic tolling of the four bells, with growling insistent rhythmic tones.
