William Close- The Earth Harp

 

 
The Earth Harp is the largest stringed instrument on the planet. It was developed by William Close in 1999. The body of the instrument rests on the stage and the strings travel out over the audience attaching to the back of the theater, turning the theater / concert hall, architecture and landscape into the instrument. The giant long strings are played with violin rosin covered gloves. The player runs their hands along the strings creating beautiful cello like tones. The reason it is titled the Earth Harp is do to the fact that the first time it was installed, the strings ran from one side of a valley 1000 ft across to the other side, turning the Earth / landscape into a giant harp. The Earth Harp has been installed around the world.

茅草山

Broga Hills- 茅草山， 位于Selangor 的Semenyih，从吉隆坡市区出发差不多45分钟到达。

凌晨5点开车，大概6点就到达山下，一辆车Parking 需要Rm2，用厕所需要RM1。

到达时已经很多车子了，很多老师带着学生山上。 

摸黑上山需要准备手电筒，要很小心走着，很多不平的山路和洞。

茅草山最美的时刻应该是7点到8点左右，阳光线慢慢的撕开云层，一点点的闪出金色的光，打在茅草上，这才是他最美的时分。这座山的美是因为他拥有茅草当披衣，有阳光照耀着，才使他在山群里闻名。路上看到一位安迪一直在捡水瓶和垃圾，希望登山客能懂得爱惜这美丽的山，把自己的垃圾捡走，把美丽留给下位登山者。
