Creative Cadillac! Brian made a video of the Sound Garden construction. In fact, we think he was still filming when he left for his teaching job in Atlanta. Who knows...there may be a secret camera! Brian also taught several video making classes to youngsters. Brian will present the video and the kids work at First Night Cadillac! The "Log-Rythmics". A talented group of percussionists from Cadillac and Lake City High School. These kids gathered many times, created a performance, (even a tango!) and sold the Sound Garden idea to our community partners. Wood Carvers Ron Corner listening to the vision.   Mike the retired Blacksmith from Greenfield Village who will be presenting with Lloyd Hoefert a blacksmith project. Mary Sundstrom's original painting of the project. Klaus Heinert's site plan coming soon. "You can't just PLOP it there!" "The natural maple-beach woods of northern Michigan were a perfect inspiration for the evolution of Frank Youngmans' original sound garden. Native materials, primarily silver maple, beach, and ironwood were used to fashion "instruments" which emit pure and natural sound when honed and played by a inspired patron. A series of other borrowed artifacts, such as steel brake drums and scrap metal, create a range of symphony in the midst of nature compelling even the nonmusical to pick up a mallet and "play". The instruments themselves are sculptural." "The new sound Garden space should relate, and tie to the water as much as the original garden tied to the forest. Many people will experience and interact with the public space; school-kids, trail users, lake-goers, locals, tourists, fisherman-women to name a few. All could be potential sound-garden players. Many will observe and listen. Images of earth-form, rock and boulder clusters and introduction of plant materials to develop exterior "rooms" and small spaces to cloister hand-fabricated musical instruments and players and their audiences were evolving in my mind. Further discussions with the Cadillac Visitor's Bureau, and sound garden committee evolved the extended spiral walkway into a curved waterfront promenade that will complete the link of water and land."   Cadillac Garden Club, Wexford County Herb Society and The Wild Ones have all agreed to participate in the Earthscape.
