A choir of rotating sirens mounted on a forest of metal tripods creates a unique experience of sound, light and space somewhere between an ethereal chorus and an air raid. The arms of each tripod rotate and stream swirling bands of light, sound pulses past the listener with a Doppler effect and clusters of closely tuned sirens create a rich and pervasive three-dimensional world of sound.

Ray Lee's Siren is a sound art project that merges musical performance with gallery installation; a whirling, spinning spectacle of mechanical movement, electronic sound and light.

The audience is free to move around the installation during the performance and experience different sonic and visual effects. The performers move within the installation of swirling metal machinery, operating and tuning the sirens to play a musical composition creating a wondrous sensory experience.
