About ~Flow
by Owl Project and Ed Carter
Electro-acoustic musical machinery powered by the River Tyne
~Flow is a tidemill - a floating building on the River Tyne that generates its own power using a tidal waterwheel. The onboard instruments respond to the constantly changing environment of the river, generating sound and data.
