Downtown Houston's Musical Chimes


Houston’s Main Street Square has a new art piece for a temporary time. The Chime is a large wooden block that you can make music with using the push of your hand. The art project is named Civic Harmony and it was designed by Dan Gottwald and Scott Watkins.

By slightly pushing the panels, a pendulum swings inside the structure, striking different chimes. The experience can be interactive, as you can stand on both sides of it and two people can make the music together.

The Chime is a nice art piece downtown, I hope the downtown management district considers making it a permanent exhibit on site.
