Sheng High — Sound sculptor and composer Trimpin updates his installation based on the sheng, a 2,000-year-old Chinese instrument, a reeded bamboo flute. Sheng High involves eight tripods, each outfitted with three hanging bamboo tubes. Motorized cables lower the tubes into water, and raise them — and as air rushes through the tubes, each of them produces a specific note over a range of two octaves. The cable system is computer-operated — following Trimpin’s musical composition. Through May 17, Nelson Gallery.
