Video: Six monochrome monitors (amber and green) displayed local citizens telling 
stories of their experiences at Pete's Pool over the years. The anechdotesappeared 
within a Canopy Lyre, a sculptural instrument which played intermittently and in counter-
point to the spoken sounds. The faces of those telling stories faded from darkness on the 
video monitors, told a story, and then faded into the white background.
Sound sculpture: A specially designed sculptural instrument called a Canopy Lyre was 
stretched between tree trunks (trees unmarked), amidst the video monitors and within
 the grove of trees near the entrance of Pete's Pool. The instrument produced 
delicate bell-like sounds when metal resonators were struck by two foot 
long pine dowels. These were driven by the wind and electronically 
by sub-audio frequencies contained on two CD players.
