sound has commissioned four unique soundscapes to complement the fountains outside Marischal College in Aberdeen.
Ross Whyte: Fountain Tree
Pippa Murphy: Marischal Fountain
Bea Dawkins: As the Fountain
Silent Chaos: L'Oscuro Oceano dello Spazio Infinito (The Dark Ocean of Infinite Space)
Each piece is inspired in a different way by the movement, the rhythm, the sound and the play of light on the water.
