There are two groups, consisting of sixteen
rectangular pipes, each of which are served by a valve-block. The compressed air is released
through a nozzle into the open pipe. The overtones can be achieved by subtle variations in
air pressure and direction. A compressor serves as a wind machine.
Materials: rectangular pipes, nozzles, valve island
Weight: 30 kg
Dimensions: height 220cm [=7.2 ft.] x width 40cm [=1.3 ft.]

Copper-Horns (2010)
PDF
A horn group consists of 64 horns, small,
modified ship’s horns. 32 horns have copper bells whose sound color is reminiscent of trumpets.
Each wind machine is powered by a portable air compressor of the type used in road construction
with a minimum pressure of 7 bar or 100 psi (pounds per square inch) and an air flow capacity
of 1.000 to 2000 CFM (cubic feet per minute), These units have an operating dBA as low as 64 db
which significantly reduces the incidence of unwanted noise. The ship’s horns are tuned diatonically
and are controlled by a computer.
Materials: steel, copper
Weight:
Dimensions: length 220cm [=7.2 feet] x width 80cm [=2.6 feet] x height 140cm [=4.6 feet]

Helix-Horns (1989)
PDF
The development of the sound generator
for the Helix Horns took several attempts, the last and best solution was the “Zetfon,”
the sound generator for a classic ship’s horn produced by the Zöllner Company and which
was adapted for the Helix Horn.
There are eight Helix Horns in different sizes and fundamental notes, each fitted with its
own electrical pneumatic sound generator. A specially constructed MIDI-control allows each
Helix Horn to play several notes and their overtones.
Materials: steel sheets which galvanized in a silvery sheen
Weight: 110 kg
Dimensions: several sizes; the more slender design is 3.50 meters [=11.5 ft.]
high, has a total length of 12 meters.
