Suspension Bridge by Louis Tompkins, 2010

Excerpt of longer field recordings, 2:20 mins

By attaching contact microphones to Bristol's suspension bridge, Tompkins managed to record some of the internal bridge resonances. The microphones translate the vibrations caused by wind, walking, and car traffic into sound frequencies, revealing a usually inaudible musicality of the bridge structure.
